Chatting it up with Chatsters: Gabby.

Growing up with two sisters and all female cousins, I was around a lot of dolls. I did have my action figures to play with, but when we would go over to my cousin’s house it was nothing but dolls. I remember the days I did not bring any of my figures with me, I…

“There’s been an awakening”

With the release of Star Wars Episode 7 later this year, I decided to do a monthly Star Wars post. Each month I will talk about a different aspect of these movies; be it a memory, a family tradition, a favorite toy or just why I love these movies. The first post will be up…

What’s going to happen to Kanan?

I have been a huge Star Wars fan since I was a little kid and seeing these different incarnations on television: The Clone Wars (cartoon version and computer animated version), the Droid series from way back and the current Star Wars Rebels, makes me feel great that the stories continue. The latter series has been…

Lessons learned from Dad 2.0.

I just returned from the chilly streets of San Francisco to the freezing streets of Chicago after attending the Dad 2.0 Summit and I feel a little saddened when I think about it. You know, like on the last day of camp everyone promises to write to each other and be best friends forever. The…

Deserve’s Got Nothing to Do With It

I’m not sure when it happened, I guess it’s always been this way. PEDs in baseball, but uppers and downers before that. Blood doping, steroids, police batons to the knee. Fudging stats, birth dates, eligibility forms. Somewhere along the way playing fair became a thing of the past. If it even ever was a thing.…

I am a little behind on the series Attack on Titan, but I have been wanting to see it for awhile. I mean, imagine one of these huge creatures attacking your city or neighborhood while you are just chilling with friends. Well, if you think you can’t handle one of these beast single handedly, maybe…

How would your Combiner look? Transformers

Generation 1 Transformers will always be my favorite. There is just something about that first season of the cartoon and seeing the Autobots and the Deceptions fighting each other that made me giddy. I always loved how they alway introduced new characters and they were more awesome than the ones before them. All-time favorite character…

I won a scholarship to go to Dad 2.0, so why do I feel a little selfish.

Over the Christmas holiday I received noticed that I won a scholarship to Dad 2.0 Summit in San Francisco in February. Now while I should be super excited about this great opportunity, I sadly am having mixed feelings about the situation. I mean, this is a great opportunity for Fandads, but there is something about…

What’s your “High-Low-High”?

Being a member of the Chicago Dads Group I get the opportunity to do some fun things throughout the city or attend some fun shows with other dads. Last September I got to attend a parenting improv workshop with Dr. Deborah Gilboa M.D., called “What’s Happy Got to Do With It?” by The Second City…
