I was finishing up some work on the computer when my teen son came into the kitchen and asked a question I’d never heard before: “What’s our wireless password?”
Hell, I don’t know the password. We programmed it once on my laptop, and once on his sister’s.
“Why do you need to know?” I asked.

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.

She does have [...]

A recent comment at Dad’s House touched a nerve with me. It reminded me of a problem I’ve had dating in Silicon Valley – some women seem solely focused on how much money they can get out of a man.
