Fathers and Sons; The NFL Takes a Backseat

My two sons challenged me to a Sunday without football on TV. In return, they committed to the day without Nintendo, Internet or television. While I tried to convince them that another day of the week worked better for me, 9-year old Nicholas turned and said;

"Dad, if it doesn't hurt, it's not a challenge."

So we made it through the day, my sons and I. No blood was spilled, no brains were muddled beyond repair as the electronics sat silent. We hiked, scootered, and actually talked. What a concept!

More fathers and sons adventures to follow on this blog, along with my latest book on the topic, scheduled for release in plenty of time for Father's Day 2010. If you'd like me to come speak to your organization about the mysteries and lessons of fathering, please let me know!
