        <title>Hey, Dad - HeyDad&apos;s Blog - The Northwest Voice</title>
        <link>http://www.northwestvoice.com/home/Blog/HeyDad</link>
        <description>&quot;Hey, Dad&quot; is the name of my new advice column that will tackle the issues and problems parents and kids face each day. You&#039;ll find advice that&#039;s sometimes funny, sometimes poignant, always to the point and straight from the heart, but from a man&#039;s point of view. 

After 55 years, I have been around the block more than a few times.  I have seen a lot of things, done a lot of things, or at least have some knowledge about a lot of things.  I have two grown sons, both graduated college and the youngest one is going on to become an Optometrist.  I have been married almost 31 years to the same wonderful woman.  I have been a Bakersfield resident off and on since 1967 so I know this town very well.  I spent 4 years in the Air Force and graduated from Cal State Long Beach at the age of 32.

Write me here on my blog with questions or problems you&#039;re having with your child, parent, spouse or pet rat and I&#039;ll give them my full attention.  Twice a month, I&#039;ll select some choice letters to run in our Northwest and Southwest publications as space allows.  Life isn&#039;t easy, nobody ever said it would be, but there&#039;s no need to go it alone.
