Monday I sneezed. All day. Tuesday I coughed rib-shaking coughs. Wednesday I coughed rib-shaking coughs while I worried my head would split open. Thursday I hobbled around, complaining about my knee, fearing that I may have ankle cancer. All in a day’s week here in Dan’s head…

I taught the other guy to take my job. Luckily for me, it took him three years to learn. Unluckily, eventually he did learn… Don’t worry, no names are mentioned in the telling of this tale…
“So, Klass, what exactly do you do for work? Yell into your iPod?”
I’m at a fork in the road, career wise, and need to come to grips with the fact that the only way I will survive is to accept both Dans. And hope that others can too.
Did you know you can’t take ph...

I invited friends of the show to send or phone in some audio, pretending that they are at a holiday party at our little house under the flight path. I got some VERY interesting input, needless to say. So, we took that audio, added to it to make it sound like we’ll all having real conversations, and this is what we got.

I talk a bit about my latest trip to Costco, by way of The Diaper Genie. Trust me, there is no actual genie inside The Diaper Genie. Just big plastic poop-sausage.
I have always believed that running in flip-flops is a bad idea, especially on the sidewalk. And, unfortunately, I was proven right.
It turns out I’m not being paranoid, I’m being “parent-noid.” (Turns out I didn’t coin that phrase. Darn!)
Let me know if you want to help out as a contributor to Action Dad’s Guide, my developing resour...
