A blog about parenthood?

The Evening Sun, while pushing for more and different media for readers, recently suggested we all give blogging a try.

Suggestions on topics flew like a bale of newspapers in a hurricane, and it was suggested I give some thought to writing of the sunshine and struggles of parenthood. The old man among kids writing about wine and moving away from home.

But I've done a little blogging -- and like to write -- so I'm figuring to give it a try. It's not like anyone's going to read it.

It's like tweeting long.

So I'll post some things soon about the adventures of Annie and Daddy. Weekend trips to the park and reading books before bed and the funny things she comes up with that stop me in my tracks.

If nothing else, maybe it will serve as a sort of journal she can look back on in years to come. Maybe someday she can get a little insight into her dad that way.

Maybe, before she darts off on the adventure of the minute, it'll get me a big hug and a quick 'I love you.'
