You can’t give your child all of the cheat codes to life
As technology does more things for us and kids stay inside supervised for more hours of the day there is an effect. In the nicest way possible I refer to it as the Wussification. Esquire did a piece in the same vein awhile ago. Continue reading
My Father’s Laugh
On this Memorial day weekend, as we approach the day we celebrate our patriarchs, I saw this video on Ted Posted on our reason for laughter. Who knew I would be a father to 4 lil boys but I am. They grow and challenge me more and more everyday. Sometimes its fun and other times its not. You can’t always be the good guy. I thnk this one stings a little more because this year my grandfather is now also gone. Continue reading
What’s a Beard To a Man?
Human beings in a mob
What’s a mob to a king?
What’s a king to a god?
What’s a god to a non-believer?
Who don’t believe in anything?
If you know me then you know its rare to see me with out a face full of beard. Human beings in a mob. I had a co-worker ask me about my beard one day. I had to explain to him. I only saw my dad maybe twice in his life without hair on his chinny chin-chin. I realized that I associate Masculinity with a beard. It is the pinnacle. A couple years a go I shaved clean just so I could show my sons what my face looked like it. Continue reading
Substitute Parent
What if, you were incapacitated in some manner and needed someone to step in and run your household?

ROAMRADIUS: The Movies
I was sitting in the theater this weekend with all 4 of my sons with all of our 3D glasses on and I got to thinking:
How old does your child have to be in order for you to allow them to go to the bathroom alone while you remain in theater?
For once in their lives they all held it the duration. It’s a loaded question and I’m sure most people would say that it depends on the child. But lets dive into this. Continue reading

Recipe for a GREAT father
“First things first, I Poppa”
Today we take a day to recognize the Paternal figures of our lives. The men who’s influence goes beyond fertilizing the egg. To the dudes that work extra hard to guide their sons and daughters to be productive adults just to be the third person mentioned in the acceptance speech. [SOURCE:Killer Mike ] Well if you are reading this then you probably know what biologically it takes to become a father, but what does it take socially to become a father that’s great.

Atone for a Tone
“Raise your words, not voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.”
— Rumi
All parents struggle. If you haven’t yet, I’m sure your humble pie is still in the oven. The difficulty becomes more prevalent when those once babies become teens. The foundation has been laid from about 5-10 years old. Which means any huge changes after the foundation is laid will be met with opposition. They are nearing or have achieved adult size and appearance. Their confidence in their ability to survive on their own grows day-by-day. With that growth in confidence and appearance comes an increased hunger for freedom. Insert struggle HERE. Continue reading
