A dose of SanityCentral into my life
Wednesday, April 6, 2005 at 12:58PM You never know where life will take you. Like into a YMCA locker room at 8:30 in the morning with seven other swim dads all trying at the same time to shower and change their dripping toddlers in a space the size of a walk-in closet. But that’s another story. This one is about what can happen when you stumble into a website.
Last week, I serendipitously happened upon SanityCentral, a parental humor website. As any of my loyal readers know, since I began writing this blog a few short months ago I frequently have taken a sidestep (some might say tumble) into the trials and tribulations of parenthood.
Finding SanityCentral was a little like stepping into a Parents Anonymous 12-step program and discovering that I’m not alone – there are actually creatures on this planet as befuddled by parenthood as I am. The basic tenet of SanityCentral is that as parents it’s okay to laugh at ourselves. Now let’s all join in: I’m a parent of a toddler, and it’s okay to laugh at myself.
On a whim, I submitted to SanityCentral some of the pieces about parenting that I’ve written, not really expecting anything to come of it. As it turns out, something did.
Starting today, I am the author of SanityCentral’s Dad Libs column, which will feature on a bi-weekly basis my musings on being a dad. Most if not all of these pieces will be lifted directly from my blog, but that’s not stealing since I'm a lawyer and it's my blog.
Even if you’ve read every word on my blog, check out my latest incarnation. You might just see me in a whole new light – hopefully one you’ll want to keep switching on.
By the way, a very special thank you to SanityCentral's self-proclaimed "head nut" Linda Sharp for giving me this wonderful opportunity and accepting me for the smart ass that I am. Linda, the tiara suits me to a tee!
