This seems to be an episode in three parts. In part one, I can’t find my checks. Not my check book, my checks. As in, 2 entire, brand new boxes of check books. I’ve looked everywhere. And, I hate writing checks to begin with…

In part two I end up finally making it to my son’s recorder recital where I expect them to massacre The Beatles while dancing in faux Japanese bath robes.

In part three we find a martial arts school to send the kids to, and get a call from a runner up. I forgot to mention that Melissa told him the kids are going to study karate, not taekwondo. Just like their dear old dad…

Parts One and Two were recorded live in front of an internet audience. Join us next Saturday, May 3rd at 9pm PST (remember, I’m at LAX) for the next live recording and chat.

This time around I discuss a startling revelation about one of my listeners. Namely, his address. All because I killed my keyboard with one of those white “magic sponge” things.
I can’t seem to beat my kids at Chutes & Ladders. Ever. What is the universe trying to tell me?

I tell the story of Hudson going to the dentist and Cousin Ronny’s plan to make out with girls at the Westpost Playhouse.

It’s late. No picture with this post. Need to sleep. Please…

Hudson sprained his ankle this week. Not to worry, only a Level One Sprain. Now, when he sprains his ankle at school, I was kind of hoping, if you’re all not too busy, you would consider calling me…

Earlier this week, a actually worked. Yes, I did a, how you say, job. But, the whole thing could have fallen through at any moment, at the exact moment that I reveal that I don’t really don’t know how to do a damned thing unless I can do it sitting here at my Mac.

Tim Coyne (The Hollywood Podcast) and I video taped and produced an “electronic press kit” for a baby/toddler fashion school. Luckily, it wasn’t as mind-numbing as I’d expected, thanks to the constant distraction:pairs and pairs of salt-water balloons.

Not to give away too much of the story, here’s a link to the resulting video. I’d wait and watch it after listening. It make a lot more sense.

Apparantly, the word I butchered is spelled “shadenfraud”

THANKS FOR LISTENING!

Strange one.

Started out talking innocently enough about the Today Show segment, being a stay-at-home dad when the camera are not rolling, today being tax day, which means I’ve had to come head to head with just how little I make a year, and the one day I actually talked to another parent at the park and Princess T. almost breaks her back.
In part two I explain the devastating depressive spiral I had to edit out of the show. Listen, the truth is, I’m just trying to get through the next 25 minutes.

Hudson and I adjusted the front derailer on my hand-me-down bicycle. You know, every once in a while, you really need to adjust your derailers.

I also read a segment from my upcoming best seller.

Check out “7th Son: Obsidian” and the Comedy4Cast parody of The Bitterest Pill called “The Sourest Grape.” Excellent stuff, you’ll like it.

Check out the article about J.C. Hutchins and Scott Silger at Blogger and Podcaster audio player (look for the file called Fiction 2.0), or read it on-line.

Next Pill:  “I Need My Derailer Adjusted” is behind schedule.  Sometimes, you can’t rush greatness.  I found myself in a hurry to get this one done, and the quality was bound to suffer.  I would rather potentially ruffle a few feathers, schedule wise,  than put out a lesser show.  I thought this one was going to be a complete train wreck, but now I see where it could go and want to give it its due.

Look for the new show tomorrow.  THANKS

Great segment on stay-at-home-dads on NBC’s The Today Show this week, featuring non-other than Brian Reid of RebelDad.com. I think the guy with him is the guy I made fun of a couple shows ago for spending three years researching SAHDs to discover that stay-at-home-dads are less likely to adhere to stereotypical gender roles. Fascinating research, doctor.

I’d love to know where NBC found the park chocked full of dads all actively watching their kids and talking sports (so much for less likely to adhere to stereotypical gender roles). The cynic in me has to assume they stocked that pond before they went fishing.

Congratulations to Brian Reid, Dr. Aaron Rochlen (call me for your next paper, doc) and all the stay-at-home dads in the segment.

If you’re a stay-at-home-dad, check out At Home Dad Convention.  I may head up there this year and see what’s what.  Let me know if you’re planning to attend.
