    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...

    Strictly by the name of this blog, A Father's Glow, its pretty obvious that most of my writings are about being a father, fatherhood, etc. Well, my story about being a father wouldn't be a story without my angel....Ayren Jahmeena (she's going to kill me!) Jackson Canna...

    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....

    Trey: Daddy?

    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...

    After a two plus year hiatus from actually going to the movie theater to see a movie, my wife and I decided to check out 'Black Panther' on opening weekend. I had heard only good things about the movie and I saw that the cast were all top notch actors, etc. So, by now...

    John Cannady

    Growing up, I watched basketball with my father a lot. Sarge was mainly into college basketball and was 'ok' with watching the NBA. That meant that I watched a lot of college basketball. So, once the NBA Draft came around in late June, I would be excited to watch to se...

    The news hit me especially hard today. My favorite rapper of all time passed today at the age of 42. As one half of the super duo Mobb Deep, Prodigy's flow and delivery was my favorite in the game and has been since I first heard 'Shook Ones, Pt 2' on Rap City back in...
