A new era of Daily Grooviness has just begun, but there are more than 200 Classic Grooves from the early years when TDG was hosted at EnjoyParenting.com. They’re listed below in the order I wrote them, starting in 2006 when my kids were ages 5 and 9.

Enjoy!  ~Scott

UPDATE: After I stopped writing The Daily Groove, I continued to re-post them regularly for many years. The Grooves listed below are in chronological order based on the first posting date, while the Groovelog and the links at the bottom of each post go in reverse chronological order based on the last re-posting date.
