This past weekend, I hooked up for lunch with single mom blogger Mindy from Single Mom Says. Mindy was vacationing in San Francisco, along with her 4-year-old daughter. No, it wasn’t that sort of hookup. We ate lunch, hit the beach, ate chocolate. (Though, judging by the way some women react to chocolate, maybe it [...]

To everyone I rankled, I apologize.
I knew the [...]
I have a love affair with California’s central coast. Beautiful beaches, great weather, nice people, family nearby. Someday, I’d like to live there. Only problem – I’m a divorced single dad with half-time custody, and my kids have deep roots in the Bay Area. I’m stuck here.
If I were to move away, California courts would [...]
