Miley Cyrus did a pole dance during a performance at the 2009 Teen Choice Awards in early August. Picture the 16-year-old singer on top of an ice cream cart (I’m not making this up), hanging onto a pole, grinding away like a stripper in front of a live studio audience full of teens.

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.)

She does have [...]
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.
I flirted with women like crazy.
Don’t worry, I wasn’t obnoxious or rude. I simply made eye contact, initiated conversations, tossed in some double entendres, and chatted women up.
For instance, [...]
Are you planning a road trip this summer and need to find places to stay? I gotta tell you – Hotels.com rocks!
I just spent an evening booking rooms for a trip my daughter and I will take later this summer to tour east coast college campuses. I normally hate travel planning, but with Hotels.com I [...]
