Little note to the “Dallas Morning News:” Maybe. Just MAYBE the reason why dads aren’t as “in tune” as your average mom, is that nobody’s ever stared at a dad like his manhood is at stake if he doesn’t get his screaming kid out of their favourite restaurant. I’m also pretty sure there’s no record of a dad showing up at the hospital with a loose jaw ’cause his wife clobbered the bejeesus outta him for not “shutting that brat up.”

Okay, rant off.

The [VF] list is zipping along at full speed. Posting information as we can. We’re all pretty wired, but the fact that CNN television doesn’t get flattened by having 1/2 of North America watching it proves that TV is not dead.
Yep.
Thumbs up, kiddo.
