All fathers have their own fears for their children when they are born. We worry through the pregnancy, we worry through the birthing process, and we worry the day we bring them home. There are also deeper fears that dwell within our very being. You kn...

Ok, it takes Da-da longer to focus, now. So what? While Da-da is no revolutionary (he's too busy wrangling SANDWORMs), Da-da admires those who put people and principles above money; Da-da even wrote a novel and another book of parody exploring such anti-Capitalistic fantasia, basically asking what it means to be ...

Da-da has lots of opinions about what's wrong with the world, but he won't bore you with them. Instead, he'll point out a kid observation. Da-da has seen his 4 and 6YO boys, Bronko and Nagurski (not their real names, o'course) after countless films of all different variety, and has ...

I was talking with a friend recently about the fears that I have as a father and as a man.  Its not really something simple that we talk about all the time (as men or just people in general). We joke about death by using items like bucket lists to ...

I’m going to cut straight to the case with this one. I about lost my shenanigans when watching “Look Who’s Talking Too”. Yes, I broke down and watched it with The Wifey.  Towards the end of the movie there is a scene that made my mind star...

“Hello, my name is Chris and I am a grateful believer in Jesus Christ and I struggle with drug addiction and myself.” This is the phrase that comes from my mouth each week that I attend Celebrate Recovery*. I have been in attendance of these weekly meeting for a little over ...

One of the jobs that I have as a father is that of exterminator. It is my job to kill all of the icky bugs. A few days ago Kid A ran from the back of the house screaming, pants around her ankles. “Daddy, there is a bug in the ...

It's a fact: full SUPERMOON APOCALYPSES encourage run-on sentences. And tantrums. Sorry, couldn't resist. In yet another fear-mongering media attempt at mongering FEAR (you getting this?), the moon is apparently going to be soooo close to the earth ...

I’ve found that the key benchmark delineating the part of your life that is childhood from the part of your life that is adulthood has nothing to do with stability or maturity or age but with the onslaught of the uncontrolled need to worry. And if the quantity of worrying ...
