Plugged in Parenting
The New York Times published an article (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/10/garden/10childtech.html?pagewanted=1) that struck a nerve with a lot of tech-savvy parents. The gist of the article is this: parents who spend a lot of time tuned into their Internet-connected devices are harming their children. Aside from the obvious hazards of texting while driving (you are such an asshole for doing that, just between the two of us), she may have a bit of a point.
Dexter!
If you listen to the show, you know that Kim and I are huge Dexter fans – if I could only watch one television show, it would have to be Dexter. Which is why I thought I’d point out the Amazon Dexter store; those of you who haven’t watched the series can get in on the action CHEAP before Season four starts. How cheap?

The Dunking Game
This weekend, while swimming with two of my three lovely daughters, we started playing a game that almost always starts out great fun and then ends in great gobs of salty tears. This game was a rite of passage in my childhood, a way to measure your place in the playground pecking order, and a great way to assert your dominance over your siblings. Ah, dunking game, how I remember your splashing, your sudden ingestion of water, your sense of impending doom and water-treading panic.
Every Dad Needs a Motorcycle
As I get older, I think a lot about what it’s like to be a dad, what it really means. I think about what you have to do and be and give up to raise your kids, and how glad I am that I made the choice to go ahead and spawn some little rugrats of my own. But I know that it’s not always easy, and sometimes it can be a little overwhelming even for us that are old hands at this parenting thing. And that’s why every dad needs a motorcycle.
