My teen daughter goes to college in a year, but first she has to apply. And that means writing an application essay or three. (Yeah, I know the title of this blog post says term paper, not application essay. Sue me, I like alliteration!)(btw, I was kidding about the sue me part.)

My teenage daughter has her driver’s license, her own (used) truck, her own cell phone, and her own set of friends. In other words, I’m starting to not see her much lately. She’ll take off on a weekend afternoon to hang out, or engage in Nerf-gun wars. She’ll take off on a weeknight to study [...]
When my teen daughter and I toured colleges on the east coast last week, she saw a side of me I don’t often share with my kids.

My ex had custody of the kids, and my son didn’t want to attend. No [...]
I take pride in being a loving father to my teen daughter and son. As a single dad with half-time custody, I’ve made a point to stay involved in raising them.
Over the years, I’ve watched my daughter mature from preteen girl to car-driving teen, and she’s become quite the confident, intelligent, self-assured girl (young woman). [...]
I’m a big Smashing Pumpkins fan, so I was delighted to hear they’ve just announced a 20th Anniversary Tour and a new documentary and concert DVD, If All Goes Wrong.
One of the discs in the DVD set is a full concert filmed during their multi-night Fillmore Residency in San Francisco last year.
Get this – my [...]
