If there is one thing positive thing about the poor economy, this is probably it. I was contacted for this article, but I explained that my circumstances were different. As you guys already know, I did not lose my job due to the "Mancession" but rather walked away from it. I didn't quite fit with the theme of the article, but I want to share it anyway since it does touch on a lot of key fatherhood issues related to the poor economy. The other reason I want to share it is because it portrays fathers in a positive light, especially one local father who doesn't live that far from me. Great job Bloomberg Businessweek for having the guts to take the more difficult angle.

The money will be used to create educational programs for fathers.
