A Dad, His Daughter, Her Friend

Posted on March 10th, 2010 | 18 comments

A friend of my teen daughter was recently going through a stack of old photographs when she came across a picture of me. I was in a swimming pool, holding her (the friend) so that her head was above water. We were both smiling, mugging for the camera. The girl was three at the time.
Here’s [...]

Feminine Energy from Moms In a Bar

Posted on February 24th, 2010 | 15 comments

I recently shared about a bar experience where some guy tried to join a table of women by using one of the best funny pickup lines I’d ever heard.
But the better part of that night was being at that table. The women I drank with that night truly rocked. Feminine energy is a very good [...]

Broken TV on SuperBowl Weekend

Posted on February 8th, 2010 | 18 comments

Friday evening while I was watching an Italian Serie A soccer match on my DVR, my satellite box bit the dust. The TV screen went black. All attempts to revive the box failed.
In short – my TV was broken for SuperBowl weekend.
Yikes!
What’s a dad to do when his TV breaks? I called my dish company, [...]

Spooning Partner Needed

Usually, I don’t let the lack of spooning bother me. I love caring for my children, and I know [...]

Halloween is great for adults!
Anyone can see that from this pic. I mean, how often do you actually want police presence at a party?
Only when it’s a sexy cop!
Today, Dad’s House rides a witches broom over to the Silicon Valley Moms Blog with a fun post about adults and Halloween.

Parking Ticket at Astronomy Class

Posted on October 2nd, 2009 | 10 comments

Our local junior college has an astronomy class with a reputation for being very good. The school has a decent-sized telescope, and the instructor co-wrote the textbook they use. He’s not quite Carl Sagan (“billions and billions of stars in the universe…”), but might be close. People of all ages flock to his class.
