Thanks Laura for sharing this blog, metrodad, with me. He’s sharp and funny and writes about being a dad in New York City – plus he’s Korean-American and 38, and once lived in Bethesda. I feel like our dads might know eachother, except I never met a Korean who would name his son Pierre. Must come from a pretty suave Korean family.
Since I have gone back 4-5 times to find Laura’s email for the link to this blog, I think it’s safe to add to my blogroll. Time to weed that blogroll anyway. Nothing like a sick day to dink around on the computer in bed.
One of Metrodad’s posts that really made me laugh was “A Metrodad Hannukah,” where he talks about feeling like an honorary Jew. Another good post can be found at the bottom of this page. It’s called “Chilled Out Parenting: A Manifesto for a New America.” Luckily I agree with most of what he says so I didn’t have to freak on him and get judgmental. (n.b. Laura did warn me that Metrodad can be a tad smug at times, but can’t that can be forgiven considering his feet stink so badly? Poor guy.)
I am also going to try out Sarah Brown’s blog for a spell, since Heather B. Armstrong (dooce.com) reads it. While Sarah Brown may be too self-deprecating for my taste, I have been finding dooce.com to be pretty addictive.
