When a Date Wants to Polish the (blank)

Posted on September 23rd, 2009 | 6 comments

Recently, a date wanted to polish the (blank) in my home.
Now, now, get your urban-slang minds out of the gutter.
This post is about polishing actual things.
Glass things. And silver things. And shiny chrome things. Okay, and maybe a knob.
Head on over to the Hot Dads blog and polish up on the subject:

Senior Moment

Posted on September 2nd, 2009 | 7 comments

Ever have a senior moment?
You know the type – you wonder where your glasses are, only to discover they’re sitting on top of your head?
Well, I’ve got a senior moment beef to pick with my kids. And what better place to do that than over at the Silicon Valley Moms blog.
Use your walker and inch [...]

Funny Surf Shop Story

Posted on July 29th, 2009 | 24 comments

My kids and I enjoy body surfing and boogie boarding at a favorite central California coast beach. Only problem, the water is usually too cold to stay in for long. My kids get around this by wearing shorty wetsuits (springsuits) that cover their bodies, thighs, and upper arms.

My teen daughter is already a grandma. How can this be?
No, she hasn’t given birth to any children, let alone have children give birth to any kids. (I gave her a father daughter sex talk at an early age. I’m pretty sure she won’t get pregnant on a drunken booty call anytime soon.)
She does have [...]

But with all the financial fretting we’re doing, I worry our lives have become too normal, too mundane.
We need an [...]

Hot Dad – Sexy or Old?

Posted on May 12th, 2009 | 14 comments

One funny thing about blogging is seeing the various comments that end up in my spam queue. As a single dad on the dating scene, it’s not too surprising the different types of products, services, and websites that get marketed to me.
But lately, there’s been a shift in tone.
Do spammers see a self-proclaimed Hot Dad [...]

Craig Ferguson is Funny

Posted on April 14th, 2009 | 19 comments

I’ve caught Craig Ferguson on CBS’s Late Late Show a handful of times over the years. He’s that Scottish-American comedian who comes on after Letterman. I always thought Craig Ferguson was funny, but I was never up that late on a regular basis, at least not watching TV. Plus, I think his Scottish accent made [...]
