Hey All,

You want notoriety and fame? This is opportunity knocking.....

Or, If you're just feeling all mopey and left out because your at-home-dad story for the last edition of Bay Area Parent magazine ended up on the editing room floor (Paul), here's your chance at redemption.

For an upcoming article, Dana would like to know:

1. Do you or have you used a DVD to occupy your kids while you have adult time with your significant other?
Always, frequently (5+ times), occassionally (1-3), never ...

2. if yes, what genre or type of DVD/VHS/TIVO'd recording is your favorite?
Sesame Street, Elmo specifically, Baby Einstein, Disney flick, Care Bears, Bob the Builder, etc?

"I am writing on a topic i'll call "push play dates" -- basically, it's when parents need some "adult time" and they put on a DVD/VHS/other recording (TIVO in our house) to get with their significant other.  I am looking for comments, and stats.  I have queried my own triplet group -- we are 60+ in the bay area, and a few others ... but i want to get the Dad's POV."

This is NOT limited to at-homers.... or dads for that matter.

Dana has assured me the article will be G-Rated..... sorry.

I'm sure there's a joke in here about only needing a commercial to get 'er done........ but I'll let someone else find it.

I can pretty much guarantee a case o beer for this one.... at least.

but there's a deadline... June 10th.

email Dana directly at <tresgrls@gmail.com> ..... I did.
