  • New Dad on Fandads

    One of the things that we wanted to do when we started Fandads was to eventually branch out and add new dads to the team. We thought we would have one dad cover comics, one cover video games, and one cover movies and so on. Enter Dave Taylor! Dave is a dad that we know…

    So here it is again. That feeling of disappointment. That feeling that I let others down. I get this feeling every now and then, but today it just hit me at the worst time. Today I was running late for work due to shoveling the March snow in the morning. Yeah. You read that right.…

    I have been to a couple of weddings in the past few months.  As one who has been married and divorced twice, I have felt myself wince each time when the couples have pledged to be together for life. The wince registers on many levels I’m sure.  In part it registers an abiding sense of…

    Parents, we have all experienced this scenario: your child walks up to you, starts mumbling something, keeps going on and on about nothing then points to a candy bar or a fruit snack or an ice cream bar, etc, etc, and then it hits you: they’re asking for something, but not being straight forward about…

  • Tears of a Clown

    Today while going through names with my wife about what to name our mystery kid, (we are waiting for the delivery date to find out the sex) I started crying.  Now this wasn’t a “I stubbed my toe and I think I broke it” cry, this was more of a “I am having a second…
