    This is truly 'be careful what you wish for' situation because there would be plenty of days where I would wish I had a lot of people following me on Twitter and engaging with me as soon as I tweet.....

    Back in December, I went back to my high school hometown of Bellevue, Nebraska for the first time in 23 years. I didn't write about it until now because I was uh.....on hiatus with my blog. Anyway, I went and I went with my travel buddy, my eight year old son Trey. I a...

    Back in the Spring of 1986 while me and my family were living in Germany, my mom saw that I needed some more shoes. She told my dad to take me to the base BX (Base Exchange) to get me some more. I would by lying if I said I remember a whole lot about what happened on t...

    Recently, the Cannady's split into two groups: the Cannady girls went down to Panama City, FL and the Cannady guys went up to NYC. It was the first trip that I got to do with Trey alone and I loved it! New York City is my absolute favorite city in the world and I think...

    Cool Dad

    John Cannady

    Most of the dads that I knew and observed while I was growing up never struck me as 'cool'. The dads I knew were always a little goofy (think bad dad jokes), wore clothes that screamed 'I'm a dad from the suburbs', and usually knew next to nothing about what was 'hot i...

    When Ayren and i found out that she was pregnant with our first kid, Trey, we waited literally until he was born to know if he was going to be a little boy or girl. If he was a boy, everything was set. His name would be John Robert Cannady III a...

    A few weeks ago driving Trey to school, we listen to a news report on the radio about Stephen Clark. The conversation went like this:

    Radio Announcer: Police are continuing to investigate the police shooting of unarmed man Stephen Clark over 20 times....

    When I was younger, I really only knew of three team sports: soccer, football, and of course, basketball. During the summer, my friends and I would get up, eat breakfast, maybe watch an hour or two of TV and then hit the basketball courts. We would play ALL DAY in the...
