Thank You Last year it snowed in Iowa. A lot. I remember the first few times part of my sidewalk was already cleared. The next time I was out shoveling and the neighbor across the street was using a snowblower to clear his sidewalk. Deep in concentration, I continued shoveling. The next time it snowed, my sidewalk wasn't cleared. As I finished shoveling, he was finishing his driveway.

I sat down, and for the first time that weekend did not take notes. I wanted to hear what CC had to say, and didn't think any of the actual "topics" would appeal to me, or warrant writing down (for me). Boy was I wrong! Immediately at the start of the panel, the panelist expressed their distaste for the term "daddybloggers." I have known CC a … [Read more...]
