  • 4 Conferences in 4 Cities in 4 Weeks

    ·

    Yes, that’s been my schedule the past 4 weeks. Plus, it’s been made harder since I’ve come back to Vegas in between the 3 conferences that were away (San Antonio, Orlando, and New York City) for those keeping track at home. I have a sincere love-hate relationship with traveling. I prefer to say that I…

  • All About That Bass Parodies

    ·

    I was working on Facebook today. Ok, I was probably avoiding work while I was on Facebook, but it’s nice that Facebook is part of my work, so it’s kind of like working. Plus, now that I’m posting something from my “work” on Facebook, then I guess it officially makes it work without the quotes,…

  • My Son Actually Listened

    ·

    The other day, I asked my 10 year old Crash Son to take a shower. He listened. He didn’t talk back. He didn’t question me. He didn’t yell. He didn’t say he didn’t want to do it. He just did it! Wow! Is this a preview of coming attractions? Of course, we were planning a…

  • Biting Off More Than You Can Chew..Or Is It Just Ambition?

    ·

    I’m sure that you regular readers (8 of you subscribed to the Crash Dad email list) are eagerly awaiting the results of the 5k I ran. You’ll remember that I ambitiously hoped to run a 7 minute mile. I figured it’s time to own up and report on the experience. What can I say? I…

  • Halloween Leftovers

    ·

    I’ve been meaning to write this Halloween post for a few days now, but life has been busy. What can I say? I never told you that this blog would be timely. In fact, my main goal is for this blog to be interesting. I plan to ask my wife and my mother if they…

  • The 7 Minute Mile Challenge

    ·

    My wife has been running a lot lately. It’s been a great thing for her. I think she’s like most people. She hates doing it, but loves when she’s done it. I’m not much of a runner. I’d much rather play sports. Sports of any kind is great, but ultimate frisbee is my sport of…

  • Can You Say Pumpkin Patch and Corn Maze?

    ·

    A couple of people told me that they were interested in my Daddy Blog since they had read many Mommy Blogs, but they were interested in how a dad’s perspective might be different. I think my wife is interested to read that as well. Hopefully this post starts us down that path, but Crash Dad…

  • Fridays!

    ·

    Today is Friday! The official start to the weekend for most people. You’re as familiar as I am with the comments on Facebook: “I’m so glad it’s Friday!” “When will this day be over, I need my weekend!!” In fact, people love the idea of Friday and the weekend that when they work odd shifts…

  • What’s In A Logo?

    ·

    If you know me, you know that I have no design taste. Literally, I care so little about design. I have to be forced to try and make something beautiful. I’m so focused on form and function that I don’t pay nearly enough attention to design. I guess that’s why I use the same theme…

  • Crash Dad’s Family

    ·

    I was thinking (no comments from the peanut gallery). What kind of Daddy Blog doesn’t have a picture of his family? Seemed like it was time I remedy that problem. I’m actually working on a cool logo for the top of the blog. When I say that I’m working on a cool CrashDad logo for…
