- Thanks to the popularity of Black Hockey Jesus, this humble little site got more hits today than ever before (and it’s only 2:30pm). Thanks, BHJ! I hope those of you who came over from his site come back and visit again.
- It’s amazing how much your kids learn from you, good and bad. I need to constantly keep this in mind. Last week, when I took Babito to Disneyland, we made a pit stop in the restroom to change Babito’s diaper. There is usually never a wait for the diaper changing station, because it’s usually the mom changing the diapers. This one time there was a dad changing a baby’s diaper, so I stood off to the side to wait our turn. I looked over at the urinals and saw a boy (probably about 10 years old) peeing. His shorts and underwear were down around his knees. I thought, “you’d think his father would teach him to just open up the zipper without totally exposing his bare butt, especially in public.” Now, I swear this is a true story. The boy was done doing his business, and as he walked away, I heard a man from the opposite wall of urinals say “Son, wash your hands.” I glanced over to see a man using the urinal with his shorts and underwear down around his ANKLES!
- Are you watching the Olympics? I always think that I’m not going to care about the Olympics, but I always end up watching them. And it doesn’t really even matter what sport they’re showing. Last night I was up at 11:30 watching the men’s gymnastics competition, which I would NEVER normally watch if it wasn’t the Olympics. Finally, near midnight, I said screw this and checked online to see where the U.S. team finished – bronze. I went up to bed, my wife was asleep, but the TV was still on, so I switched over to MSNBC and started watching the kayaking competition in the fake river rapids. Please shoot me if I’m up at midnight tonight watching team handball or rhythmic gymnastics.
- The Olympic swimming competition has been great. The U.S. swimmers are kicking butt, like they usually do. I was wondering, do you think if you got a whole 50 meter (a full length of the pool) headstart you could beat any of these guys (or women) in a 100 meter race. I probably couldn’t even make it 50 meters.
- Lastly, due to the unexpected (and much appreciated) response from interviewees that I’ve contacted, I’m going to run the “Daddy Dan Interviews” segment twice a week instead of weekly, so look for the interview with Mike and Heather Spohr to post this Thursday.

Your interview with Black Hockey Jesus was great. And, I can’t believe a grown man would pee with his shorts to his ankles. He must be messy and didn’t want to wet his clothes!?! I’m also enjoying the Olympics, but for some reason every time I have time to watch they’re always showing Chinese gymnasts. I’m sick of watching it.

I loved the interview with BHJ. What a crazy guy! I can see why his blog is so popular!
Public restroom etiquette – I never could understand how men can even pee at the urinals. How do they do it? I would totally have pee-shyness!
I’m watching the olympics too. I’m normally not a big sports fan unless it’s my kids’ sports that I’m watching, but something about the Olympics just draws you in. I love them. I know I’ll be sad when they’re over.

That urinal story is hilarious…though slightly disturbing!

I have been an Olympics Junkie for the past week. I know absolutely nothing about swimming other than to save my own butt if I ever fall out of a life raft, but I can’t get enough of olympic swimming. I actually get excited and my heart races that last 50 meters.
Why is it that USA can be so dominant in a sport like swimming and then completely suck in a sport like ping-pong?
