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.

Head over to the Hot Dads Blog and get the skinny on:

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.
