Fitness for Dads: Dad, What’s for Dinner?
It’s 5pm. You’re still at work, but tonight you’re supposed to make dinner. The last thing you want to do is order pizza because that’s what you did last night and you can’t bear to ask your wife to cook again this week because TONIGHT is the only night you’re responsible to feed the family. It also happens to be the day that your meeting ran through lunch so you couldn’t pop down to the gym for your workout.

Raising Daughters
Alright, parents, it’s confession time: As dads raising daughters, we’re all at an immediate disadvantage because we’ve never known what it’s like to grow up as a little girl.

Whining Drives Me Crazy
I love my kids very much. I would die for my kids. If they ask me nicely, I would do anything for my kids. When they whine though, it drives me crazy! Bill Cosby said that parents want quiet and peace. I don’t need either of those things, but what I do want is calm and normal dialogue. Rational behavior. Harmony would be a good way to put it.

Knowing When the Job is Done
One of the things I hope to do as he’s growing up is to teach my young son how to do a job the right way, from start to finish. I’d like to teach him about starting well, executing well, and finishing well.
