Dom has finally come down from his sugar-induced mania, giving me some time to reflect on Easter Sunday. As a Christian man, I’m supposed to tell anyone who will listen what I believe.

I’ve decided to skip my recent run of hilarious letters to corporate America and return to my roots: potty humor.  This is a dad blog after all. Dom’s 3rd birthday is rapidly approaching and up until this week, he was still having trouble understanding why anyone in their right mind would inconvenience themselves by using [...]

Here is the email I just submitted to Nickelodeon, reproduced in its entirety: Dear Nick Jr. Program Director, I must reluctantly thank you for moving The Fresh Beat Band to the 6:30 time slot. It has inspired me to take my son outside and enjoy the cool summer evenings.  As an added bonus, we usually [...]

Here is the note I just received from Church and Dwight, with comments added in blue. My response is below. Dear Andy, (again, I removed my last name even though only my family reads this crap) Thank you for contacting us recently regarding Church & Dwight Co., Inc. products. (you’re welcome) In order to fully [...]
