07 MayOn Becoming My Dad

19 JulThis Grandpa Has His Own YouTube Gaming Channel
This grandpa has his own gaming channel. You heard me. At sixty years old (well, nearly) I’m big into the computer gaming scene. Perhaps you’ve seen my name on the computer gaming leader boards. Well, probably you haven’t because I made that part up. I do have my own gaming channel, though. Is it odd […]

07 JanI’m Glad I Didn’t Send You Back
There are times when disciplining children that what seems the wrong thing to do is the right thing to do. June 7, 1992 Dear Cory, Yesterday you came into the kitchen where I was doing dishes and excitedly told me how you had taken the cinder block outside and “smashed it!” By the look on […]

06 MayMy Dad’ing’ Ain’t Traditional
The best part of my life has been being Dad. I think I can say that with authority because I have been Dad to eight children. I’m not under that mystical spell that comes with being a new dad—you know, where it’s all wonder and joy. No, I’m far past the “cute” childhood stage. I’ve […]

29 MarThe DMV, My Daughter, and Me
Today I walked into the DMV with my sixteen year old daughter. We were there to get her learner’s permit. Fortunately, when we walked out she had her permit in hand. It wasn’t as simple as it sounds. She could have had her permit a year ago on her fifteenth birthday. Like most teenagers she […]

11 OctLife Isn’t a Disneyland Event
I am a bit obsessive when it comes to the trivial details of life. I’ve always had the feeling that real life happens in-between the big Disneyland events. I recently read the biography of Eddie Rickenbacker. Eddie Rickenbacker lived big. I think the fact that most of you reading this don’t know who he is […]

17 MayGoing to University to Get a Job Is Going to Disneyland to Get a Snow-cone
As far as I know I was the first in my Anderson family line to graduate from college. My Mom had a four-year nursing degree. I believe it was she who suggested I go to college. I couldn’t think of anything better to do so I applied to Brigham Young University and was accepted. What […]

24 Dec“Listen To Me, Dad”
For those who are familiar with Christian scripture you are aware of the idea that children pay for the sins of their fathers (and mothers). Even taking religion out of the picture there are books of studies on how nurture (or lack of it) affects the lives of children. As a father and a dad […]
