THE 2021 DODGE DURANGO SRT HELLCAT: A BEAST IN DISGUISE You can see from this expansive 10.1-inch Uconnect 5.0 infotainment screen above, there’s wireless Apple CarPlay (and Android Auto), along with all the other features modern drivers expect. Like SUVs that never go offroad, it’s hard not to suspect that SRT Hellcat owners never go to “Track” mode and use features like “Launch Mode” a few times when first purchased, then never again. LIFE DURING QUARANTINE WITH A TEEN AND ADULT KIDS FROM Life During Quarantine With a Teen and Adult Kids. It was back in Mid-March, 2020 that restaurants and gathering places in Colorado were closed due to the imminent threat of the coronavirus. This suddenly brought a new reality to our family; we were stuck at home.

GOT A MAZDA UPGRADE: CARPLAY AND ANDROID AUTO! FROM When I bought my Mazda CX-5 in 2017, there was quite a lot I liked about the vehicle and its huge array of smart safety tech. The one surprise, though, was that Apple CarPlay and Android Auto weren’t already baked into the entertainment system. Keep in mind that CarPlay showed up in all the way back in May of 2014, so that was plenty of time for Mazda to add it to all their vehicles.

A PERFECT SPRING WEEKEND WITH THE 2021 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN To be fair, some of the controls on the dashboard are for towing and bad weather. The Suburban features 8,300 pounds towing capacity so whether you’re an Airstream fan, have a work trailer with heavy equipment, or want to pull your new speedboat to the lake, it’s got you covered.

SPEAKING OF WHICH, HOW ARE YOUR TOES DOING? FROM GOFATHERHOOD® At various times I’ve had a house full of athletes. From basketball to volleyball, gym visits to yoga, my family is active and we all strive to avoid the dreaded world of the couch potato. LIVIN' THE VAN LIFE WITH THE 2021 CHRYSLER PACIFICA LTD Cargo trucks, vans, and small buses were great utilitarian vehicles but they also beget a new type of vehicle: The minivan. First introduced in 1983, the Dodge Caravan (and its sibling the Plymouth Voyager) launched the segment, a category of vehicle that was destined to be a craze for many years.

ROAD TRIP WITH THE 2020 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER! FROM To some extent, the Land Cruiser reminds me of the daft old film Tarzan’s New York Adventure, because there’s a 4-wheel drive beast lurking inside the refined and sophisticated interior of this almost $90,000 sport utility vehicle.But calling it an SUV brings up images of a little Subaru, and this is bigger, more luxurious and definitely better appointed than a Forester or Outback. SUN AND SNOW WITH THE 2021 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER XSE FROM When Toyota reached out to offer me a week behind the wheel of the 2021 Toyota Highlander XSE AWD, I’m sure they didn’t think I would take it on two road trips, but that’s exactly what happened!First up was a few days in Breckenridge, Colorado, at 9,600 feet elevation and a strange mix of sun, warmth, and snow. GETTING STARTED WITH LAWNBRIGHT: REGIONAL LAWN CARE IN A Living in the ‘burbs, I have grass in both the front and back yard of my house. As does every one of my neighbors. It’s a curious aspect of suburban life, the desire to pretend the big housing complex construction project didn’t eradicate a field and replace it with driveways and roads.

This suddenly brought a new reality to our family; we were stuck athome.
INCONSISTENT LUXURY IN THE 2021 LEXUS NX 300H LUXURY AWD My daughter said she felt the nose jutted out too much, and it is a very aggressive front grill styling, but personally I don’t mind that at all, and it might be good for aerodynamics at higher speedstoo.
TWO WEEKS WITH THE GREAT HUSQVARNA 430XH AUTOMOWER FROM I don’t mind mowing my front and back yard. Too much. I mean, I’d like to think that it’s a chore for my kids, but their schedules and a general lack of enthusiasm for the task means that while the front might be mowed every few weeks, the back yard can get to be as thickand unwieldy as a

COSLEEPING, AGE APPROPRIATENESS AND NUDITY FROM GOFATHERHOOD® I was just reading through the many comments on my earlier blog entry about cosleeping and bed space and am struck with the frequency of people asking about when children are too old to cosleep and issues related to the parents sleeping without pajamas.

MOVIE REVIEW: THE WANDERING EARTH FROM GOFATHERHOOD® Movie Review: The Wandering Earth. Just when we thought we’d figured out how to address global warming, it turns out that the sun has gone rogue and in less than a century it’s going to destroy Earth and eventually expand to the size of our solar system. We can’t build enough space stations to save mankind and we can’t colonize another WHY DON'T PEOPLE CLEAN UP AFTER THEMSELVES? FROM GOFATHERHOOD® Perhaps I’m in the worst town in America for this observation, but I’m baffled why people don’t clean up after themselves in public places. I’m sitting at a busy Starbucks in Las Vegas, Nevada, on a bright Sunday morning so perhaps it’s something to do with hangovers after staying up way too late and drinking way too much alcohol ROCKPORT SHOES, MORE COMFORTABLE THAN SNEAKERS?

It wasn’t the social experience that was the obstacle as it is for many teen girls, but rather the ratio of solid and engaging academics vs busy workand…Read More
THE ROAD TO ADVENTURE WITH THE 2019 TOYOTA RAV4 ADVENTURE August 10, 2019 / Dave Taylor / Cars & Car Reviews/ No
Comments
I’ve owned Toyota vehicles for years and years, starting back with a dorky gold Tercel hatchback I purchased in 1984, my first new car. Indeed, every time I’ve looked at other car manufacturers I’ve felt a tiny bit guilty, though Toyota is the most successful car company in the world and can probably survive without my purchases. My most recent Toyota was a 2007 Highlander, which served my family really well for a decade before…Read MoreFILM REVIEW: DOMINO

Jamie Lannister (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) as a tough cop in Denmark? With Melisandre (Carice van Houten) as his partner? If you’re a fan of Game of Thrones this sounds like a great pairing and a really interesting setting for a cop thriller. And, to some extent, that’s just what Domino is, and while this direct to video release doesn’t stint on talent or production, the fundamental story is pretty darn weak. Don’t be confused by the 2005 film…Read More IS GENDER NEUTRAL PARENTING POSSIBLE? IS IT DESIRABLE? July 28, 2019 / Dave Taylor/ Real Parenting

Earlier today I skimmed through an article about how raising girls changes a father’s views on gender identity that explored the concept of gender neutral parenting which made me ask myself if it’s a good idea or not. Parents.com comments on gender neutral parenting that “some think it’s a great way to encourage a child to embrace his or her true identity, others believe it will confuse the child and alienate socially.” For many…Read More FILM REVIEW: LEO DA VINCI: MISSION MONA LISA July 25, 2019 / Dave Taylor/ Dad at the Movies

We all know Leonardo da Vinci as one of the great inventors of the Renaissance, a creative genius who was probably one of the smartest individuals to ever grace our planet.

Gotta say I’m mighty proud of my two older kids at this moment. To start out, my oldest daughter Ashley (22) has been working as an admin assistant to a restaurateur in the local area and is making good money on an incredibly flexible schedule. She does almost all of the work from of her apartment or here at my house (lots of scanning and paperwork). Definitely a good gig that offers her the ability…ReadMore

It’s hard to imagine that it was way back in 1969 that man first stepped foot on the moon and that our last mission to our lunar companion was in 1972. Since then the moon has just sat in the sky, untouched. Imagine how much technology has changed and improved in the intervening 47 years, and yet the most recent footprints on the lunar regolith are from NASA astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt.The…Read More

I’ve written before about how scary dolls can be – most notably my review of Dolls a week ago – and I’ll reiterate that there’s something inherently terrifying about animated an otherwise inanimate object. It can be played in a touching and amusing way, as the Toy Story franchise reminds us with the splendid 4th installment out this summer, but it can also be scary as heck, as Annabelle keeps trying to demonstrate. That gets…Read More TWO WEEKS WITH THE GREAT HUSQVARNA 430XH AUTOMOWER June 28, 2019 / Dave Taylor/ Dad's Lifestyle

I don’t mind mowing my front and back yard. Too much. I mean, I’d like to think that it’s a chore for my kids, but their schedules and a general lack of enthusiasm for the task means that while the front might be mowed every few weeks, the back yard can get to be as thick and unwieldy as a jungle between mows. Which is why when I had the chance to work with the…Read More FILM REVIEW: TOY STORY 4 June 21, 2019 / Dave Taylor/ Dad at the Movies

By any measure Toy Story 4 is a splendid movie, full of heart, humor and with a strong and engaging story. In a summer of mostly bleh, predictable sequels it’s also that rare film that improves on its predecessors, delivering one of the best and most touching cinematic experiences of the year. But Toy Story 4 is a lot more, because it serves as a reminder to film makers – especially in our modern,visual…Read More

Ah, I remember heading off to college after my high school graduation. That summer I continued my job at the local hardware store, working basically full time and earning some good money to help pay for my college expenses.

There’s something deep seated and primitive about the belief in the supernatural power of dolls. From voodoo dolls to the golem of Jewish mysticism to more recent evil dolls like William Goldman’s terrifying ventriloquist dummy in Magic to Chucky from Child’s Play and creepy Annabelle from the horror series of the same name. Evil dolls with malicious intent have become somewhat of a horror trope they’re so darn popular. Which is why the indie horror…Read More WHAT IS IT WITH CELLPHONE USAGE IN PUBLIC VENUES?

Even worse, he didn’t know how to use the darn speakerphone mode, so he…ReadMore
FILM REVIEW: MEN IN BLACK: INTERNATIONAL June 12, 2019 / Dave Taylor/ Dad at the Movies

There’s a certain amount of whimsy that runs throughout the Men In Black series. The story posits that aliens have always lived among us and that humans long ago created a secret organization to keep things from descending into chaos. The “Men In Black” manage aliens who visit or move here to Earth. They all dress identically, with narrow black ties, white dress shirts and black suits. As part of their standard kit, they also…Read More1 2 3
