Father Muskrat is my latest Rad Dad. He talks about pissing on the IRS, lotion in the basket a la Silence of the Lambs and more.
Sex and The Single Dad

Follow the adventures of a full-time single dad as he attempts to raise a 14-year-old daughter without giving her too many stories to relay to her future therapist.
Spring Break Memories
Drinks are free for happy Hour so be sure to tip your bartender with a comment or two. There are snacks in the corner and the bathroom is the second door on the left.
My “Hell Yeah” dessert
When I hear the phrase “Low calorie dessert” I immediately picture pie that looks like pie but isn’t pie because it has no sugar.
Amy the Coffee Lovin Mom
If by the next big screenplay you mean live tweeting about the people in the coffee joints, then yes I believe that statistic to be true. I’m stuck on the word joints because I think it may be involved in more ways than one in this situation..
The epiphany
It actually doesn’t matter what the reason for pulling away is because it’s not cool. I’m her dad and I’m the one responsible for raising her and for making sure she knows what healthy relationships look like. At dinner on Sunday night I brought it up and apologized to her.
The vintage typewriter
After invoking, “Finders Keepers” I took it outside and placed it on one of the aforementioned big ass shelves.
Happy Hour–Spring Break
This week’s guest bartender is Lance from My Blog Can Beat Up Your Blog. Lance mixes up great fiction on his blog and is always ready to mock someone at Sprocket Ink. Today he’s concocted a fictional Spring Break story that mixes old school with one of today’s current trends . It’s served in a tall glass with a twist of what I believe to be sci-fi.Spring Break

Rad Dads–Jason Avant
Dads are nothing if not pragmatic. Any time a new asks me for advice, I tell them two things: sleep when the baby sleeps, and protect your nuts because as soon as they’re able, toddlers will do their best to kick and punch you in the junk.
Bully
I was an unpopular kid [I’ll give you a moment to pick your jaws up off the floor] and this song reminded me of all the tormenting, name calling, teasing and mocking at the hands (and mouths) of several of my classmates.
Granny Spam–Signs of intelligence
Do you have someone in your family who forwards you odd, obscure or funny things? Me too.
Here’s a look at some of what my mom sent me this week. This has Bill Engvall written all over it.
Dating a 36-year-old virgin
I knew that statistically there had to be at least a handful of 36-year-old virgins in Southern California, but I never expected one to be cute. Or that I would end up on a date with one of them.
Happy Hour–Spring Break in NYC
Start spreading the news… Frank Sinatra This week my guest bartender is none other than my Muse–a part time blogger and full time fountain of ideas and knowledge. Each month there is a new theme and I let the bartender concoct their own signature “drink”. April’s theme is Spring Break. Want to know what Happy…
Welcome to Daddio’s Diner
Today’s special: Low calorie pizza that doesn’t taste like cardboard. I love to eat and for the majority of my life I was of the belief that healthy food had to taste awful. On November 2, 2011 I was on the high side of 280 and April 3, 2012 I…
Magnificent Moms–Cecily K
