    Gunshot wounds

    Just once, I would like to see TV honestly depict a gunshot wound or a beating. Have the person screaming in pain, etc etc. Might wake a few people up.

    Nerdcore!

    I think I'll be happy once this whole "Nerds Are Cool!" fad passes so I can get back to work in peace.

    Gangnam style

    Thankfully, I have managed to avoid this one so far.

    Not the coach, but...

    Or, look at it this way: You're not sitting on the sidelines in your daughter's classroom giving the teacher unsolicited advice, are you? No? Then let the coach run the team.

    Is it ok to have differnt religious beliefs?

    I don't know that I'm aware of any American marriages that have broken up due to religious issues. I figure that sort of thing would get hammered out BEFORE you got married.

    Nerdcore!

    I'm wary of any sort of marketing that is openly designed to appeal to a certain core audience. "Music and Culture for Nerds"? Seems like a lame attempt to capitalize on the "nerds are cool" fad that is currently going through its death throws. How about you just put some music out there, and...

    Are you ready for football?

    I never understood the appeal of televised sports. To me, a sport is something you do, not something you watch. I can understand the gladiatorial concept of picking a side and cheering them on in person, seeing athletes at the top of their game compete, etc. But, without a crowd to immerse...

    Preschool Library Storytime

    Sounds like a glorified babysitter to me.

    Eating control

    You need to avoid the compulsion to use food as a weapon or a bargaining tool.

    Not the coach, but...

    Then, you need to stay home. It's not about you. It's about your child. Just let your child have fun. Not everything has to be a competition.

    Career and Marriage do not side by side.

    They can go hand-in-hand so long as you make smart decisions along the way.

    What do your kids think of your music?

    When I was a kid, I liked what my folks played in the car's cassette deck while we drove up to our yearly vacation spot. As a teen, I hated all the crap they used to play when I was a kid. Now that I'm an adult, I get nostalgic when I hear all the stuff they used to play.

    Anniversary getaway.

    Flamingo is a pretty good place to stay, mainly because of its location. Yeah, I like Golden Nugget's buffet. I'm not much of a gambler, so I can't really give you any tips there. Freemont street is a cool place to spend some time. Get a deep fried twinkie while you're there. Nearly all the...

    Rearing stepchildren isn't as easy!

    Of course it's not easy. Adding a new variable to an already established equation never is.

    Considering Preschool

    By that rationale, he should have put her in some sort of program at age 2 so that it would make it less difficult to start pre-school at 3.

    Bad decisions

    The best you can do is advise them against the decision and give your reasoning behind it. Let me put it to you this way: If your friend told everyone that the sky is red and the Sun is green, would you agree with him just because he's your friend?

    Why don't they just finish it?

    I still say that forcing one to join "the clean plate club" every meal is a huge detriment. Pick your battles. When it comes to forcing a child to eat something he/she is determined not to eat, you're going to lose.

    Considering Preschool

    It's the first step towards indoctrination. It can be great for developing social aspects at that age, but, personally, I would hold off for another year.

    Bring on the scary movies!

    And, of course, "The Walking Dead" is starting up again on AMC soon.

    A harsh lesson

    You know, I have a lot of casual friends who also happen to be single and happen to have kids. We all get together a lot and hang out and do day trips, etc. Sometimes I wonder why I have to take such a "wait and see" attitude with women I'm involved with.
