Don’t read this, read this

Greg pointed out to me yesterday that I haven’t posted in about five days. That just might be a new world record for me. Although the comment feels a bit rich coming from someone who updates his own blog whenever Brigadoon makes a reappearance.

I’ve got various amounts of stuff on my plate at the moment, both good and bad, and the impulse to babble on this blog just hasn’t been there recently. Don’t worry, it will come back, but it’ll probably be pretty quiet here for another couple of days.

But that’s not the reason I’m posting today. The reason I’m breaking my silence is that I wanted to point you all in the direction of my favorite new blog discovery:

I’m Ian. A 30 year old widower, and parent to the most brilliant young boy in the world. Max is 3 and his name really suits him. By day I’m a freelance writer and child dropper-off-er/picker-up-er. At any other time, I’m trying to be a superhero dad, albeit hindered by dodgy knees. Enjoy this blog.

Ian from Single Parent Dad has a touching story to tell and he does it with great writing and humor. This guy deserves to be warmly embraced by the Daddyblogging community.

Go to it.

    I just LOVE it when I find good blogs written by fellas, writing for real.

    That’s my Wednesday evening sorted anyway. (Yes I’m sad, bugger off)

    Cheers for the find Mr Dan.

    Why can’t you find me a blog of a hot, younger female blogger who wants to take off all of her clothes on a regular basis while she re-enacts scenes from the Simpsons?

    Very nice find!
    @ Avitable..that’s….disturbing.
    The only good re-enactment I could figure is the Homer and Marge minigolf scene ;)

    @ Adam - I’m a hot blonde blogger! What’s your point? Ahh, I missed the “younger” part. Okay, point taken ;o)

    Brigadoon? Now that’s a wonderful film. Wonder if you can get it on DVD???

    Off to look at ’single parent dad’ - will I need tissues?

    Hope you clear your plate soon Dan, I miss your wit and wisdom.
