		<title>Why You Might NOT Want To Be Like Gary Vee</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
[This article was originally published over at Dumb Little Man. There is a great discussion to be found in the comments, including one from Gary himself!] 
I am a huge fan of Gary Vaynerchuk. If you&#8217;ve never heard of him, he became famous for his online TV show, Wine Library TV, in which he brings [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Are you living life to the fullest? If you had to name one person in your life who lives their life to the fullest, who would it be? Did anyone immediately pop into your mind? 
Now, be honest&#8230; did you name yourself? 
I hope so. But if not, why not?

		<title>Don&#8217;t Blame the Blackberry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was moderating a panel on work/life balance a few weeks ago. A woman on the panel, at the height of a very distinguished and accomplished career, talked about the demands of her job and the stress of dealing with the high expectations of her clients.

		<title>Our Half-Lived Moments</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Are too many of your moments half-lived?
As a dad, I often find myself fighting the battle between enjoying a moment with Lucy and capturing it on film. One truth that I think slips by most dads and grandpas is this: As nice as it is to record memories to look back on later, photographing a [...]]]></description>

		<title>What&#8217;s Your Gold Medal?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
We&#8217;ve had several speaking gigs since the Olympics has started and I&#8217;m finding it&#8217;s a great conversation piece for people. There seems to be a common denominator of interest: the individual stories and montages. The most inspiring ones are the ones where the Olympian overcame a major adversity to get to where they are today [...]]]></description>

We’d go down swinging in a spectacular grand finale, of [...]]]></description>

We bought our daughter one of those little primary-colored push car toys for her first birthday. It gets great gas mileage and holds up amazingly well in crashes, of which there have been many so far.
The other day, she got herself caught in [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Future of College and The Advantage of the Childlike</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what college will look like when Lucy is ready to graduate high school. It fascinates me, because considering that she&#8217;s only fourteen months old as I write this, I only know it will look nothing like it does right now.
Degrees earned online used to be the domain of [...]]]></description>

		<title>You Have 13 Years Left To Live. Go!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This week, Jason, Lucy and I attended the wake of a friend of ours who lived just 13 years. Just by hearing that you may say, &#8220;How tragic,&#8221; but I would say back to you that actually, Jesse lived more in his 13 years than most people live in 85. Being diagnosed with Type 1 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Who Are You Trying to Prove Wrong?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[He suffered from ADHD.
His parents got divorced when he was nine.
He didn’t do so hot in school.
And his middle school teacher told him that he’d never be successful.
Nice.
Everybody seems to have their own definition of success, but I’d be hard-pressed to find anyone to dispute that winning 14 Olympic gold medals is a pretty good [...]]]></description>

		<title>9 Decisions You Can Make With a Rock, Paper, and Scissors</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Remember the childhood game that settled every argument? No, not thumb wrestling (or even arm wrestling, for that matter.) I&#8217;m referring to &#8220;rock-paper-scissors.&#8221; Sure, it&#8217;s fun to flip a coin or draw straws, but nothing says childhood like this favorite classic.
If you don&#8217;t know that rock beats scissors, then you might need to reconnect with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Open Letter to Alton Brown (and Dads Everywhere)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently got a copy of Good Eats: The Early Years by Alton Brown. To paraphrase Ron Burgundy, if you don’t think it’s the greatest show on television, I will fight you. As a Food Network junkie, I dig Alton’s quirky, fun, no-nonsense style. Between writing books, filming Good Eats, hosting Iron Chef America and [...]]]></description>

Adultitis is also severely contagious, so if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are You A Human Doing?</title>

It&#8217;s easier to be a human doing than a human being.
I have the good fortune of spending two hours each morning with a little bundle of energy known as Lucy. She recently became interested in bringing me books to read to her. I enjoy this new level of interactivity, even though the subject matter is [...]]]></description>

		<title>What Grocery Shopping Can Teach You About Life Balance</title>

I’ve found that many of the reasons I was able to teach kindergarten effectively all fly in the face of being a good grocery shopper. Being easily distracted with a short attention span and the endless aisles of marketing mayhem do not serve me well. It’s a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The First Year of Fatherhood: One Dad’s Review</title>

So, what have I learned, if anything?

		<title>More Is Always Better. Or Is It?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
More is better.
Is that true?
When I think of the concept of &#8220;more,&#8221; I sometimes imagine a slick, second-rate Elvis trying to sell me an extended warranty on electronic equipment. Or a pimply teenager offering to upgrade my fries to super-size for just a quarter. Their message: &#8220;More is definitely better.&#8221;
The other side of my noggin [...]]]></description>
