Memoirs Of A Sneaker Wearing Dad (<--click)

Welcome to my groovy little Daddy Blog. This is my goofy adult diary highlighting my memories of growing up in the 70's, my observations of being an American dad of two daughters, how I make great money online, my cartooning knowledge and the plans I have of being a millionaire Internet entrepreneur. Follow along and I'll try to make it all entertaining.

My hope is that this will be a journal of my wacky experiences that can be looked back on by my daughters, my family and my friends. Read with amusement and come back often...

That year in school we had a really great teacher and our core gang was made up of five guys, two ten year olds and and three twelve year olds. All of us lived right on Broadway street with me living the furthest west. Our school, also on Broadway, was an old brick two story structure named after President McKinley. At that time, pre-political correctness, we were known as the McKinley Bombers. Read more...
