A Perfectly Good Bowl of Cereal Wasted
..."It really did happen that way, I promise. I sat at the family computer and watched the whole thing unfold. The morning our younger daughter got up and spit oatmeal into her older sister's cereal was not unlike the bugle call that signaled the first battle of the Civil War. The little one was three at the time; her older sister was seven. "...
A Walk On Sacred Ground
..." I remember the day well. There were many tears shed in our family. We looked on as Tom Brokaw, himself emotional, recounted the horror of the day. The devastation. The senseless loss of life. And, of course, the countless images that quickly became forever ingrained in our minds, such as the photo of a fireman carrying the lifeless body of young Bailey Almon."...
Going For Broke En Route to Soccer Practice
..."Just the other day, I was unwittingly forced into another common dad position: Chief Executive Officer in Charge of Family Financial Affairs.

HOWEVER, it is important to remember that when using the word, "Babe" when talking to a player, you must at least SOUND like a Major League manager. T-ball coaches must learn to chatter like big leaguers."...
Slumber Party
Jimmy Patterson shares his humorous view of his twelve year old daughter's slumber party.
Turn your 3-year-old son's potty training into aerobic exercises!
..."About that time, The Boy, our 3-year-old Herculean specimen of a son, called out that he needed to go potty. I got up, turned the light on for him and sat back down. Next thing I knew, I was back in the bathroom, tending to him. Bending, lifting. You know the routine. A kid sheds his diaper and it's more work for parents than diapers ever were."...
