It's A Wonderful Life, Singin' In The Rain, And Now My Love

Man's Search For Meaning (Viktor Frankl)

Skiing, skiing, skiing, being with my boys, writing, hiking, my 3 dogs, my boys, did I say my boys? Watching my teen perform (he's a rock 'n' roller) and appreciating the great art my younger teen makes.

Villa Italian in Culver City - the last of the old-style family type Italian restaurants. I've been going there for more than 40 years!

Wherever there's snow or great beaches! And, Hong Kong and Italy.

I became a first-time dad, to a son, four days after my 40th birthday, less than 9 months after getting married (we got pregnant on the honeymoon). My second son was born three years later. When my boys were still quite young, I left my job to become a full-time dad and to care for my ailing parents, the classic “sandwich” situation.

Sadly, shortly thereafter, my marriage ended and my wife abandoned our children, leaving the state. I found myself a full-time single dad, in my late-forties.

I began writing about my experiences as a father, a man going through divorce, a 24/7 single dad, dating again, raising boys, and then teens, and more in my column, "A Dad's Point-of-View" and a blog for momlogic.com called, "Just A Guy." My writing is now published in over 75 newspapers and web-sites internationally.

I re-married in Dec. '09 and now am dealing with the issues of a blended family -- 3 dogs, 2 boys, 1 dad, 1 step-mom!
