I recently attended a broadcast performance of the opera Turandot. When I blogged about the evening, a married mom asked: And you don’t have the ladies lined up at the door? What’s up with that?

There are sexy and funny stories about dating after divorce. Like any blog, Dad’s House is an [...]
My teen son decided to trick-or-treat this Halloween with a new group of friends. He’s in eighth grade and they’re in seventh, and I didn’t know any of these kids. When I dropped my son off, I made sure to go up to the house and meet the parents.
What do you know, there was a [...]
