Dads off the Couch: January 2012
http://dadsoffthecouch.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 27, 2012. The Nine Minute Winter, Golf and Kids. Or those of us able to remember 1979, if only because age-wise we’re in that sweet spot somewhere between untenable youth and impending infirmity, the year was sort of a mixed bag. There were a few bummers: the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor threatened to melt down, about a dozen fans were trampled to death at a Who show in. And perhaps the most shocking of all,. 8217;s first nude beach was established in. In case you have little ones to...

Dads off the Couch: The epic college odyssey, part I. Gaaa.
http://dadsoffthecouch.blogspot.com/2012/02/epic-college-odyssey-part-i-gaaa.html
Friday, February 10, 2012. The epic college odyssey, part I. Gaaa. In any case, a bit of serendipity dropped on me today when I came across the word Decidophobia. I suppose you could make the case that as a word it’s a little bit obvious or literal minded, but I still think it’s perfectly descriptive in a lean, efficient way. Mostly because I have the perfect use for it: Decidophobia – “a condition that may afflict parents with a teen looking at colleges.”. As we continue to make progress though, my Love...

Dads off the Couch: December 2013
http://dadsoffthecouch.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 6, 2013. Coming Full Circle, part I, in which I mull over the birth of a Stay at Home Dad Blog. But I should probably back up for a moment. At the risk of revealing that I’m an old guy, I am proud to note that I was an early refugee from the static tyranny of yellow legal pads and ballpoint pens the moment I got my hands on WordStar. It was the early 80s and it was magical. It was on a machine that displayed whatever you typed on a screen. You could go back and fix mistakes. The real iro...

Dads off the Couch: Ticker tape, the Giants and dad's shoulders.
http://dadsoffthecouch.blogspot.com/2012/02/ticker-tape-giants-and-dads-shoulders.html
Tuesday, February 7, 2012. Ticker tape, the Giants and dad's shoulders. He sky was grey, it was crowded, and the weather was colder than Kate Gosselin’s smile. And yet none of that mattered because Underdog was floating past me, up in the sky, larger than life. Perhaps most surprising though, he was also in Living Color, complete with bright red standard-issue superhero tights and a blue cape. Who knew? An obvious one is the St. Patrick’s to-do in either Pearl River. But there are more parades than you w...

Dads off the Couch: June 2014
http://dadsoffthecouch.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 25, 2014. Coming Full Circle, part II, in which a Stay-at-Home-Dad grows up with his kids. T was a busy Saturday in May. First there was a trip to the community center where the younger boy had SAT prep. There was some question about how he was going to get back afterwards, but as always the specter of a long walk home ensured that he would work it out somehow. And how did this happen? Well I’ll tell you. Because I’m coming full circle. Mostly though, coming full circle means that not onl...

Dads off the Couch: December 2011
http://dadsoffthecouch.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 21, 2011. Frank Wiley’s behind the curve. (And I ramble about some self evident things.). Icture, if you will, it’s a warm summer evening, the sun is starting to drop and we’re playing Wiffleball in the street. Moreover, the radio in the front yard is blaring “Billy Don’t Be a Hero.” Yes, yes it is. Because it’s 1976, that’s why. Inexplicably though, all this may be lost on Frank Wiley as he notes. Yes, Wiley is simply pointing out that more. Dads are staying home with kids, but repor...

Dads off the Couch: November 2011
http://dadsoffthecouch.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 30, 2011. Here a number of rites of passage we all remember for our childhoods, some fondly and others not so much. Some are religious: Confirmations, baptisms, Bar/Bat Mitzvahs, or even the appropriately vague Coming of Age. Ceremony for commitment-phobic Unitarians. (My peeps! Some rites even seem designed to invite the chaos that we spend much of our time trying to avoid as parents: Walkabout and Rumspringa. There’s a cost benefit ratio for you to mull over on some dark night.
