Dorky Dad
http://www.mazeville.blogspot.com
I'm a dork. I was a dork in high school, but I hated my label so I did everything humanly possibly to de-dork myself. I wore "fashionable" 80s clothes (ick), I bought a car, I even ditched my dork friends for friends lower on the dork-o-meter. I now realize that all this accomplished was to cement my own place in the dork universe. I am now resigned to my fate.

The Dork hits Vegas
In the morning I'm flying to Las Vegas to attend a "conference," which apparently is some sort of pseudonym for "I'm going to gamble my life saving's away and wake up married to the waitress of a local diner."I actually am attending a conference, but...

The Wife and I decided our lives were too easy, so late last week we loaded our borderline-hyperactive 5-year-old and our teething, ear-infection-prone infant into a plane packed with travelers and flew four hours to California.Yes, I did this volunt...
A Sonnet For Feminine Cheese Sticks
In honor of National Poetry Day, which by the time many of you read this will be long past, I've composed the following sonnet. A poorly written, badly rhymed sonnet that will probably make Bill Shakespeare's ghost scream in agony before it searches ...

Dorky Dad has been on my must reads for a long time; and he never fails to make me laugh (with a sprinkling of touching stories as well). The Blogosphere's best pseudo-flowchart/graph-maker, bar none.

Dorky Dad is a riot - and one of my favorite daily reads. He's also a fellow Minnesotan so that makes him extra cool.

If I were a dork, I'd want to be a dad. Wait. If I were a dad, I'd want to be a dork. No. If I were a blogger, I'd want to be like Dorky Dad.
