Taking a Closer Look at Dad Blogs

Alex Trebek: Very well. And the answer is: “The opposite of Heaven, this word conveys eternal suffering.” Contestant Linda: BUZZ! What is Hell? Alex Trebek: Ohh... that’s not exactly the answer we’re looking for here. Anyone else? Eternal suffering... ...

Hazing: It's Not Just For College Anymore

Hazing is nothing new.  Mean girls are nothing new.  Movies about hazing can become cult classics. (Dazed and Confused, anyone?)  Movies about popular girls acting in horrific ways to other girls can make for box office blockbusters. (Mean Girls, ...

Teaching Teens to Drive- What You (and They) Need to Know

Kids! Go Outside and Play! (If your helicopter parent will let you.)

As a child, summertime meant playing with my friends all day.  Outside. Without a parent hovering over me.  It was simple.  We jumped out of bed, snarfed down some breakfast and raced out to meet the "pack of kids" that roamed the neighborhood.  We ...
