How to Save Your Family if Your Accelerator Pedal Gets Stuck
In case there are dads and moms who have not heard: Toyota has issued a recall of several models because the accelerator pedal sticks. The stuck accelerator has resulted in several deaths. I’m not going to blog about the recall. Instead, I’m going to focus on what you should do in the event your accelerator [...]

OK dads and moms. Today I’m running a public service announcement for The Fresh Air Fund, which is an independent, not-for-profit agency. The Fresh Air Fund has provided free summer vacations to over 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities. Last summer, close to 5,000 children visited volunteer host families in suburbs and [...]

Rated I for Immature
The weirdo-in-law gave my wife a Wii console for her birthday last summer. We have the Wii Sports that came with the system and LEGO Batman (the Little Princess bought it with her own money). For the holidays, I’m thinking about getting a game or two for the kids (really, the games are for the [...]
H1N1 Vaccines for Prison Inmates, Wall Street Workers, and Santas – But Not Kids
Maybe because I’m a dad, I see things differently than most people. But I truly think our world is upside down. For instance, our HMO didn’t get their first shipment of H1N1 vaccines until the week after our baby was hospitalized for H1N1. If the vaccines came in a couple weeks earlier, our baby wouldn’t [...]

Nickell also owns a pharmaceutical company and has offered to sell the expensive anti-seizure med at cost. What a great guy! Sorry I have not been out in the blogosphere [...]
National Sex Offender Public Website
With Halloween just around the corner, I decided to search the National Sex Offender Public Website for sex offenders in our neighborhood. Yeah, I know. As a dad, I should check the sex offender public website year round instead of just around Halloween time. My bad. I’ll do better. Luckily for us, the search only [...]
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
I must be a bad dad because I missed the news yesterday about Harry Potter the Ride. Apparently, Universal Orlando will open the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in the spring of 2010. According to the Universal Orlando Resort, guests will be able to sip Butterbeer in Three Broomsticks, buy Extendable Ears at Zonko’s, and [...]
Mom and Dad Blogs
I put together a directory of mom blogs and dad blogs on Daddy Forever. I added some of the suggestions from the HP notebooks giveaway to a list I had been compiling when I’m not busy making babies with my wife. This first pass of the listing is the beta release (Version 0.1). The directory [...]
