Watch Em!

By Daddy Brad Friday, February 26th, 2010

Back when I was a young boy hanging out on my granddaddy’s farm, the greatest potential danger facing me day to day was getting kicked in the head by an ornery mule or stumbling across an angry moccasin.  I also walked ten miles up hill to school barefoot and toting a sack full of rocks.  Let’s face it, when we were kids most of the dangers confronting us were isolated and infrequent.  Getting hit by a car on busy street, having our eye put out by a bb-gun, or our head exploding because we ate a handful of Pop Rocks and took a big swig of Coca-Cola at the same time were the things that worried our parent’s most.  Read the rest of this entry »

Be My Valentine

Valentine’s Day is a bit tricky.  It comes out of nowhere, sits smack dab in the middle of the paying for all the excess spending on Christmas gifts period and ruthlessly exposes my weaknesses as a thoughtful and creative mushy gift giver.  This year was no different.  I failed miserably on the gift side.  The only thing that saved my bacon was the fact that our family returned from a week at Disney World on the 13th and my sweet wife gave me a pass.  The only gift I could muster was hanging out with all three kids most of the day, so she could have a little Mommy alone time.

On this weeks Cast Of Dads episode #8, we talk about the premature push to adulthood, along with other topics ranging from potty humor to chicken wings. Oh, and we devote a few minutes to the Super Bowl as well.

I Talk Funny

By Daddy Brad Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

While in grad school in Indiana, I tended bar to make ends meet.  I was amazed at the number of times mid-western drinkers asked me if I was from Australia.   “Not that far Southeast but your headed in the right direction,”  was my standard reply.  I guess the local towns folk in Bloomington weren’t used to a southern beer monkey.

It seems that I am also in the drawl minority on the Cast of Dads Crew.  On this week’s pod cast #7 we gnawed on numerous topics such as funny accents (mine) bullies, old school electronic games and what morons we were when we were 16.
