Around The Dial

Something I've been meaning to do for awhile... Taking a little look at some of the blogs and web sites that I read on a regular basis. See all those mom and dad blogs over there on the right? I try to check in on each one at least once a week. Some I check more often.

Anyway, here are some interesting things I found tonight:

Amy at That's Life, Life Goes On is tired. Very tired. She's raising three kids, helping to run her husband's business, and holding down a night job at Wal-Mart.

Steve Vaught is The Fat Man Walking and has finally entered New Mexico on his cross-country walk to "get his life back." If you haven't seen this site before, there are a lot of fascinating journal entries to read. His trip has been full of surprises and disappointments.

Brett at Dad Talk has a post up about fathers becoming traumatized in the delivery room. Wimps!

Jay Allen has started a new blog called Parents Behaving Badly that is both horrifying and hilarious at the same time. Sure makes me feel better about myself, though.

Homer at Eccentric Father says we should all quit whining about high gas prices. And I agree with him. What good is it going to do to complain? We do what we have to do.

Clare's Dad laments long hours at work. At least he's lucky enough to have a really interesting workplace, one where his daughter can come and have some fun.

Cheryl-Anne at Treasure Hunting writes about "Grandma's Closet" items, those little gifts that are never opened or used.

Jennifer at Taste Everything Once writes about her prize-winning pie. I don't even like pie, and I'm getting hungry!

Some Cranky Guy survived Hurricane Katrina.

Dodge at My Old Kentucky Blog is feeling restless for some sort of major life-change. I suggested he have children. That'll do it every time.

Robot Johnny wishes Elvis Costello a Happy Birthday and remembers meeting the man a few years ago.

Eric at More Diapers reminds me what an awesome privilege it is to be my kids' personal comedian.
