I just got poked by Bernard @ RaisingEli.Com and Maryanne @ MommySpeak.Com

Here’s seven things you didn’t know about metaDAD;

  1. I don’t follow sports and don’t relish owning a car — I don’t even hide the fact, anymore. I miss riding the subway to work (NYC). Don’t get me wrong the NYC Subway system is flawed but I now know it is a great privilege not to own a car.
  2. I’ve had many different types of jobs over the years. I drove a truck between Boston and NYC for awhile. I worked in telemarketing when I was in high school. I was a chef for years. I used to do ice sculptures. I was an animator. I was a computer salesman. I was an after-school teacher. When I was a kid, I had my own comic strip in the local paper. I was never a clown. And I am a master of none.
  3. I am kinda scared of clowns. And scorpions. And Dude’s with guns — in that order.
  4. After my mother passed away, I developed vertigo (I still have it sometimes).
  5. I feel Foreigner is a deeply under-rated band.
  6. Oprah annoys me. Dr. Oz impresses me. I am kind of jealous of him at the same time, because he’s now a “made-man.”
  7. I think good parenting, and good fathering is part learned, part experience (how your parents parented you) and part intuition. Reading a book (taking a workshop or whatever) about parenting is good. Reading a couple books (workshops, et al.) is better, even if you don’t agree with all of them. With good guidance, healthy advice and support from family and friends it is possible.
