about us

from Ohg Rea Tone:

We are a Father and a Son. We live in different States - physically, mentally, spiritually, and geographically. My son was here in town visiting this past summer and we had a nice chat. He was already doing the blog thing and thought about our conversations while driving home. He called and asked that we blog together - a life discussion between a father and a son. Obviously, I agreed. There was no real forethought about content - only that we would discuss life issues. Sometimes we are very personal - sometimes academic - sometime boring - and hopefully occasionally entertaining or enlightening. The Fireside Post has evolved into an online magazine.

about this format

from bryan:

Calling this blog “the fireside” was a very intentional decision. My father and I have had some great moments around the fire. Campfires, fireplaces, small arson projects. Ok, not the arson, but I wanted to capture the essence of that kind of conversation, one that allows us to be spiteful, funny, serious, challenging, sensitive, vulgar, weird, whatever the conversational mood brings about. Our fireside chats are agreeable, disagreeable, funny, sad, but they always have something valuable. There is almost always a point to be made, and when there is not I find myself glad to be meandering thorough the conversation anyway. And I find myself thinking and acting differently because of it. There is great value in that, and I hope that the world can share in that benefit. You might be looking for a theme or a common thread in the topics. There is one. It is in the title.
