Clare's Dad

Once again I’ve slacked off on posting and reading.  Clare is going to ballet three times a week now, I’m working odd hours that involve time at home and at the theater, I’m writing at least two posts a week for UpTake (the largest travel search engine on the Internet after only six months), and holidays and birthdays have been thrown into the mix.  Something had to ease up.  Not to worry though, I’ll still try to be around at least a couple of times each week.  I’m here for you like that.

Something else that’s here for you is the new link I’ve added over in the sidebar to the Mom and Dad Bloggerhood hosted on Mama Dawg‘s blog.  When I first started blogging I thought it would be great to compile a list of all dad bloggers, and I blogrolled every one I could find.  I added to the list for a while, and I promoted the idea of having some kind of central directory of dad and mom blogs.  Eventually I gave up.  I still add blogs that catch my attention, but the number of dad and mom bloggers has grown so much that a definitive list in any one place is nearly impossible.   New dad and mom bloggers are probably moving into the ‘hood with us everyday.  It’s not just the award-winning, book-writing, side-splitting, tear-jerking bloggers that make this such a great place either—it’s the different perspective from every single one of us. (If you’re not on my own blogroll, by the way, you’re probably in my bookmarks to be added.  Give me a nudge and I’ll get that done.)

While I’m talking up dad and mom bloggers, I’ll point you toward a couple specific ones that caught my attention this morning.  Alissa at Life’s Little Adventures is celebrating one thousand posts!  Go congratulate her and read about the cool things her boys have done recently too.  Chag at Cynical Dad is always cool, but today he’s giving the moms wrapped up in the Motrin controversy something else to think about.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love being part of this bloggerhood.  Have a great week, everyone.
