Head Over Heels, a punk rock Shakespearean romp set to the classic 80’s songs of The Go-Go’s. I recently challenged my teenager, who is Broadway musical obsessed, to write her first Broadway review about this show after having seen a Saturday matinee last month, getting a quick tour of the stage and the wings of …

My teenager isn’t really taking a gap year. That said, if you were to hear her describe heading into an online charter high school this fall, that’s exactly what it would sound like.

Carnival Cruise Line is known for many things. There’s Grooving for St. Jude outside on the Lido deck, towel animal surprises in your cabin each evening, and, on the newer ships Vista and Horizon, the only IMAX Theaters at sea and a craft brewery on board.

Okay so you know I travel a lot. But what you may not know is when I do, I drive to my destinations more than 30% of the time. And when it’s time to hit the road I need my cars …
Being a dad blogger means I get to know about a lot of rad dads doing rad things in the honeymoon glow of fatherhood. There’s my pal Sean Singleton’s Pop Lyfe Shop , the wonderful City Dads Groups all across the country, and Broadway actor-turned-dad-turned-entrepreneur Gavin Lodge’s high end diaper bags for handsome dudes sold …
