Thanks! We are changing things up, and I made the mistake of starting the changes before my kids were out of school to supervise me.
For those who have used a leaf-blower in the house, and those who love them.
Is this thing on? Can I start writing now? How do I get it to work? Can I put something on it? How is it you know how to do this and you’re not even out of high school…it’s on now?...OK, let me try it again...
Hello there! Welcome to Davison Cheney-MEGA DAD!
Good. It works. Thanks for setting this blog-thing up for me, sweetie. I'll call you if I need you...and remember to be in by ten because tomorrow is school.

You May Be The First One Here!
Rearing to go. Rarin', I mean |
I am glad to have you here, you reader-of-incredibly outstanding-blogs, you.
I am a dad. That is the one word to describe myself. It means that I am a guy who has to split his time up between raising kids, partnering with another – in my case a girl named Marie, making a living, paying bills, being nurturing, coaching kids, chauffeuring, referring and the list goes painfully on.
My base is broad - I am educated in the liberal arts (liberal being the operative word,) but I am from Idaho and was raised with parents not unfamiliar with dairy cows - very conservative dairy cows.
Speaking of, I have nine sisters. Five brothers as well.
I am a former actor and singer, I went to college on a musical theater scholarship – so I was prepared to sing for my supper, and be poor for the rest of my life.
I mission-ed in Honduras, Tegucigalpa (Mormon men go on missions.) I'm not a very good Spanish speaker but I had heart for it, and, for a short time, malaria as well. After that I really learned the power of prayer.
I have done some fun things and some stupid things, remarkably cool things and mortifying things. Then I was diagnosed as bi-poler and could fix the iffy stuff. Now, with a few meds and a diet coke, I function almost normally.
I didn’t end up getting married until I was in my 30's. So, my sense of humor is heightened and slightly off-kilter. I am trying to maintain a balance: Many don't think I can be a good Mormon and be funny at the same time. I am going to be both.
For example, Did you know that athlete's foot spray works to remove gum from hair? You wont read that on LDS.org.
I will be writing my thoughts and experiences, maintaining a can-do attitude while creating something of real value – daunting, yet do-able.
That is the balance I am going for. I want to be recognized for what I am and where I want to be. I will find some commonalities between us.
I am Davison Cheney – MEGA DAD!
