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.)
The other day she [...]
Pardon my exhaustion, but my kids are back in school, and I was the custodial parent who helped them shop for school supplies. For some genius reason, our local school district decided mid-August was a great time to open the fall term. That’s seven to ten days earlier than usual, and the stores were barely [...]
My daughter and I were walking through town when I noticed a rolled up wad of paper on the ground. Looking more closely, I saw the corner of a twenty dollar bill poking out.
“Hey, there’s money,” I said to my daughter. “Pick it up.”
She sidestepped the roll and peered at it like it was dog [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
School’s out for the summer, and with my teen daughter now a high school senior, it’s time for her last round of college campus visits. She’s toured schools throughout California and on the Eastern seaboard. But despite living in the Bay Area, she never toured the UC Berkeley campus.
We fixed that last week. Can I [...]
