This blog is six years old today. Seems like ages since I first started writing about being a dad. That’s a lot of thinking and sorting and guessing on the subject of fatherhood. But it’s not so much what I’ve written that has made me a better dad. No, it’s the other dad blogs I’ve connected with over the years. It’s their posts and comments and personal emails that have made this all worthwhile. So, cheers to them on my 6th birthday. I appreciate the mom bloggers too. One of whom as become a good friend to my family/Idaho Dad, A Family Runs Through It. More here.
