The noise that Transformers make

I have to make an admission in the hopes that someone else might do this as well. Every time I expand my son’s stroller from the folded position or slide up the canopy on his car seat carrier I make the transforming noise that Transformers make.
For those of you wondering what the Transformers transforming noise […]

Essential Stallone

Bad Dad Radio has a great list of essential Stallone movies. I say great because it really captures Stallone as an actor, balancing the man we all know as Rocky with the same man who made Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot.

Why I exercise

Just over a year ago I had a minor injury which prevented me from exercising normally. I used to go to the gym four or five times a week but, with this interruption, my exercise routine quickly dropped down to little, if anything.

The magic of bath time

By the time I get home from work, I often have only about an hour and a half to spend with my 3 month old son before his bed time. I see him before work in the morning, but this is still much less time than I would like. However, although my time with […]

Shrek says your kid is fat

On my way to work the other morning I drove by a large billboard with the Shrek and Donkey characters riding skateboards. I had to do a double-take. While I do like Shrek, that’s not the reason I looked back. My surprise over the advertisement’s slogan was what warranted a second glance:
