Blogger mommy's are all the rage these days, and probably for good reason. I'm a big fan of two in particular (hello Foodmomiac and CrazyMama). But with all due respect, I've been wondering why us Blogger Dad's (gotta say that 'Blogger Daddy' sounds a tad bit creepy) are getting zero love. Sure, Blogger Mommy's work hard and balance a lot of demands. I get that and give them props. But what are we dad's, chopped liver? Just so happens that we (sometimes) pull our weight, too.
So with all that said, I am hereby declaring myself the Internet's first Blogger Dad. Give it up for me, please.
I realize I'm now blurring between sundry topics, especially given the title of this blog, so to provide a bit of clarity I will be writing a weekly special "Blog Dad" posting chronicling some aspect of this part of my life.
So what to write today? Not sure; I am so tired form Memorial Day activities I can barely think straight. I do think though that one aspect to kids that particularly resonate with dad's are our kid's athletic accomplishments (recognizing this is also meaningful to mom's as well. Why do I suspect I am going to be inserting a ton of caveats into everything I write on this topic).
Anyway, the Little Girl and I have been having our issues of late, but one thing we are on the same page on is athletic pursuits; particularly swimming, running and now I am proud to say -- biking. And not to sound like an obnoxious, braggart of a parent, I am growing increasingly amazed by her athletic ability. To wit: literally yesterday afternoon she learned how to ride a two wheel bike. Today, she accompanied me on her bike while I ran four miles.
And not only was she cruising the entire time, she was zig zagging in and out of runners/biking traffic. It was a sight to behold (everyone was laughing at her little legs pedaling so hard) and pretty darn impressive for a five year old. Afterwards, I took her to the local skate park, where she proceeded to ride her bike and "show off" to the skateboarders and BMX riders. As we were finally leaving -- I had to literally drag her out of there -- she turned to the boys, who were probably 12-15 years old, looked at them, and said -- I swear -- "later dudes."
I think I might have a NorCal skater chick on my hands. Funny thing is: I'm pretty stoked by that.

that is awesome! she is obviously hard core athlete like her dad.or on her way to being one. and Skater chicks ROCK!
and my thoughts on the lack of blogger dad love is...they don't make the effort or take the time to cultivate the friendships by commenting on others blogs. and most dad bloggers, also don't have the time or make it to post regularly. they don't build up the camaraderie like mom bloggers do, usually through, the "do you ever feel like?" stuff. guys just don't do that. nevertheless, i enjoy the things your blog has to offer, assorted sports, techno, travel, TV related stuff, with a little cancer and family man thrown in. it's a good assortment, and you have ton of real life friends that seem to support you and enjoy keeping up with your world.
