blogosphere redeemed

hello, friendly readers. i wrote this post yesterday, but our little blog, it was broken. i decided to just leave it as it was anyway.

odd that just a couple hours ago i was thinking how the whole blogging thing seems a little overdone lately. honestly, i’d gotten bored with it. i still check a hundred of them compulsively, and i still manage to either post something or guilt joey into posting something every few days. i think maybe it’s a cyclical thing. anyway, a site that i check compulsively is kirtsy.com, which is not a blog actually, but more like digg for women. and i stumbled upon this blog. i’ve only just now looked around on it a little, but it’s the first blog that has jumped out and thumped me in the forehead in a while. maybe because it’s a daddyblog, and i find that a fresh perspective. or maybe just because it’s not about what somebody had for lunch. the kirtsy link instructed readers to be sure and read the letter to lydia. i’m trying, but i think it might take me a few days. it’s big, and by that i don’t just mean a high word count.

since this post has ended up being not exactly a typical happy friday post, here’s at least a typical happy friday picture. this is my beautiful son, danny, who says to me (when prompted, or when he desperately wants something): mama.

    Danny rocks. So do you. One day I’ll meet Joey (and try not to scare him) and confirm what I know deep in my heart…he rocks, as well.

    This comment has little to do with your post. I am recovering from a night of tutus, tiaras, hula skirts and tap shoes. And then there was also the recital. Ha.
