The "Dad" guy returns, making an appearance at NotSoFormulaic!

A few weeks back, my friend Ginny of NotSoFormulaic.com asked me to contribute a column to post for a series on her site on the topic of being a parent to a “twice exceptional” kid.  It wasn’t a term I was initially familiar with but after a quick google search, I understood what she was going for and I was all too happy to help.
 
It was a fun diversion from the work of running a small business and writing the next book.  It reminded me of my old blogging days when we first moved to Oahu.  I was writing several blogs a week, mostly about our transition to life in Hawaii and my own bumps in the road being, apparently, the only stay-at-home dad on the island.  I wrote a lot about being a parent and reacting to the things that the kids were doing, among other topics.  It was fun and in many ways it helped me develop some good habits as a writer that I still employ today.  Several of those columns are now available in a small release I put together earlier this year, which you can check out HERE, if you’re interested. 
 
This new column, "There are No Boring Days" can be found on Ginny’s site, NotSoFormulaic, right HERE.  It was well-timed, considering the rather turbulent trip the family and I just took to Busch Gardens.  Let’s just say I may never visit another amusement park again.  Ever.  In perpetuity.  I’m serious.
 
I encourage you to check out Ginny’s site and leave loads of comments on my blog so that I get asked back.  I enjoyed writing it and it reminded me that I need to make time now and then.  I’ve got deadlines for the next novel and a lot of other plates spinning (do people still get that reference?) but I need to remember to step away now and then and write about the real things that are happening in our lives.  I really treasure the old Aloha Kugs writings as they really do a nice job of chronicling our story from those years.  I’m truly glad that I have them to revisit.
