"You're living in a f*%king cancer circus. Can't you just move on and put it in the past?"

When you're traveling through a cancer journey, you hear a lot of crazy things. But that was the craziest thing I heard. If not the cruelest.

Yup.

Well, my friends, that cancer...

Ask me what I like about being a dad. Seriously, ask me.

Because I think I finally have an answer.

I've always liked being a dad. But I've never quite felt like I could explain why I like being a dad. Hitting the nail on the head with the perfect...

Today marks the 38th anniversary of the death of my mom, who died when I was a young boy. I hope this tribute to her might remind a few moms about the value they bring to their kids. Every day.

Hi Mom,

So where do I start? It's hard...

I like having three kids.

They fit nicely into the car. They're the perfect number when going out to dinner. Table for four? And we always have enough people to play board games.

But what I like most about having three -- if I'm perfectly honest -- is that it...

I like a good "Aha!"

You know, one of those moments where clarity and inspiration crisscross in your heart, leaving the soul feeling like it's been served a warm slice of apple pie. I used to call them "Oprah Ahas!" -- maybe you did, too. But lately, those moments have...

My kids tell me with regularity that I'm confusing. Now #1 best selling author Dr. Ian Smith tells me I need to be confusing my diet, as well.

Confused? Well, don't be.

It actually all makes sense to me now that I've had a chance to sit...

Like many of you, I've watched the back-to-back Oprah interviews with Lance Armstrong. I was curious. Way more than curious. As a cancer survivor, I felt a connection to this story. This was a little more personal. I've spent time in the Livestrong offices. I've had my own moments of...

Take a close look at your child's class picture. If there's 25 cute, smiling faces in that group, statistically about seven of those kids are being raised by single parents. Maybe more depending on where you live.

Of the 30-40 million homes in the United States with children...

Stop. Right now.

And think of some of the young men in your life. Maybe it's your own son. Or that nephew in Newark. A squeaky-clean kid you work with? How about that cute kid down the street who is always outside shooting hoops?

You're probably seeing them smiling, right?...

I was thinking it would be like roadkill.

Something you know you shouldn't look at. But you do anyway. Which is followed by that horrible feeling in your gut that you should have followed your instinct and avoid it.

Yup, that's pretty much how I've thought about Les...

It was our last Christmas in North Carolina. My son, Kevin, was 8. Wallis, my daughter, was 5. That would make Drew, my youngest, a 1-year-old, newly mastering the art of walking. It was the week before Christmas, and our good friends, David and Denise, had invited us over to...

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men's faces in the U.S. and around the world. With their "mos," these men raise vital awareness and funds for men's health issues, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives.

I talk about my...

In celebration of Movember, the month-long global charity movement engaging men to grow moustaches during the month of November for the purpose of raising awareness and funds to benefit men's health, I'm proud to share one man's journey through -- and beyond -- testicular cancer.

"So, what's it...

If you ask me, the road to dadhood is much like my recent experience assembling an eight-drawer Ikea dresser for my daughter: The finished product looked really appealing in the store, the directions were hard to follow and the process to completion took a lot more time than I expected....

The amount of effort people put into their outdoor Halloween decorations makes me marvel.

Over the last few weeks, my neighborhood has morphed into the production set of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" video complete with zombies, caskets, tombs, skeletal remains, headstones and dozens of ghosts -- both friendly and otherwise....

There's a couple things you need to know about me.

First, I'm a prostate cancer survivor. And second, well -- you see -- I get choked up rather easily.

Not that those two things are related, mind you. But every so often they manage to collide head-on. And when they...

Dear Mrs. Romney,

I was looking forward to your speech at the Republican National Convention. I really was. For some reason I feel a connection with you. You see, my own mom -- like you -- raised five boys. I was the youngest of that brood that grew up in...

For all you dads -- and moms -- who think you've got your bases covered with the various "talks" you need to have with your sons, I bring bad news.

There's a new one to add to your repertoire.

If you think the "sex" talk sounds uncomfortable, get ready. And...

I stopped worrying about being a picture-perfect dad a few years ago. And I actually think it's helped me do a better job with this parenting gig.

As a young dad, I lived with a vision in my head about what a father should be like. Act like. React like....
