Crazy Stupid Move
You might have heard from Bujnik that we are doing this stupid diet thing starting today. If you care to witness the good, the bad and the ugly of two dad’s trying to loose a ridiculous - probably even dangerous- amount of weight in a very short time, come check out The Douchey Dad’s Diet Tumblr.
Read the first couple posts first to see why we are doing this.

WatchI’ve mentioned a couple times, Finn’s beloved babysitter is moving away. Last night was her going away party that we couldn’t make. After her party she was catching a 3AM bus here in town to go to Boston. Finn and I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bus stop and say one last goodbye. She was floored…and gave both of us the biggest hugs. And…I was the...
Anonymous asked: I asked my question last time, but you never answered it! This leads me to believe that it is an excellent question: what would you advise to someone who was dating a single dad?

Dear Anons
If you are going to ask super personal questions, please don’t do it behind the vale of anonymity. Just ask me from your account…and ask me to answer it privately.

Since I missed the anon boat last night...
I will leave it on tonight. Ask me anything.
Thanks btw for the great questions as I was stuck in what might have been the worst traffic jam I’ve ever seen in Vermont. Grant it, it would be a normal traffic by most city’s standards.

Texting and the Donor Dad
My donor kids got “real” mobile phones for Hanukkah this year (they’ve had Tracfones for a couple years…only for emergencies). I’m pretty sure that texting is going to completely change my connection with them. Already my 12 year old son and I have ongoing smack-texting banter, while my daughter and I can simply say hi to one another when we feel moved.

Louise C.K. - Dad content at its best
A couple days ago I reblogged a quote from Louise C.K. without knowing much about him. Ever since, I’ve seen him all over the place. His show is on top of many of the best of 2011 TV show lists and he is trailblazing selling content on his site.
Not having a TV, I finally got around to to streaming a couple episodes of his show and watch some outtakes from his stand up tonight; I have...

The Mis-assucation of Discoball Dad
(Yep…that’s a really poor play on words of the 1997 album “The Miseducation of Lauren Hill.” See video/music interlude below).
I went to see a sports medicine guy yesterday - recommended by a Ironman athlete I know - to figure out my supposed hamstring issues. This doctor specializes in something called Active Release Technique (A.R.T) as well as Chiropractics and...

Birthdays and Boys
Today is Finn’s b-day party with his bros. At last year’s party, (both of us) learned the hard lesson that there is actually a threshold ratio of number of boys to fun and we went over it (for the record, six 6/7 year old boys at a sleepover - as a single parent - is pure hell).
This year he only invited three friends. However, for the first part of the party, I am taking them to...

Oh, I’m not bitching about it. I love rockin’ the salt and pepper - and yes, I feel very blessed for having a big fat head full of it. I’m just amazed sometimes how quickly it went from zero to holy crap, I’m old.

My Hot Ass
As i mentioned yesterday, I tore my hamstring earlier in the week. Luckily it’s much less severe than I originally thought and I’m mostly pain free. I don’t get into my PT until early next week (note: do not get injured around the holidays), but I want to start getting this thing healed (the longer I wait, the more chances of additional scar tissue building up…making...

She’s the bomb and we are I’m totally going to miss her when she moves next month. Btw: Used a crazy cake recipe…not a box cake…that may help with the explosive cones.

Your babysitter is some kind of wizard. I tried making those and they fucking exploded all over my oven.

Finn's Mom
As I’ve eluded to many times, Finn’s mom and I parent really well together. It’s been just over 5 years since we split (for the final time) and it’s taken a lot of work for us to get to where we are. Luckily no matter what shit was going on between us at any given time, we always kept it away from our roles as parents - never using our (past) effed up relationship to...

Project Deadline - shackled to my computer for the...
8:30 on Saturday morning and I’m dreading this weekend. Finn is with his mom all weekend (because I’ve had him for the past three) and I have to deliver a project at the beginning of next week.
While I may end up regretting it, I need some distractions from data modeling. So I’m opening up anonymous asks to see what’s on the minds of dbd readers. Please keep it...

Finn: Do you know there's a store named after a penis
Me: Excuse me?
Finn: Yeah...and Richard means the same thing too.
Me: Ohhhh...you mean Dick's
Finn: [giggles] yeah.
Me: How do you know that's a word for penis?
Finn: I just know (thinking to himself...."duh, I'm over the age of 3")
Me: You know not to use that word for penis at school and in public right?
Finn: Yeah, I do. But you have that bad word on your skate socks that your friend gave you (Knee highs that say "Bitch" down the side). You wear those in public.
Me: But only when I skate.
Finn: And your derby name is inappropriate.
Me: You win...I'm a bad parent.

Hmmmm… That’s not what I was expecting. Oh well…off to bed.
P.S. Thanks for some of the nice messages. I just couldn’t bring myself to answer publicly and feel like a big perv.
