About: Having Daughters

I have two beautiful girls.  I am extremely appreciative of these blessings, and thank God every single day (or at least every third) for their presence in my life.  Having only girls…in fact living in a household chocked full of only estrogen (do dogs have estrogen too?) is quite the adventure, but I think I have a few of the tools necessary to survive:
1.  I could literally go days without speaking, and be totally okay with that.  This will come in handy as I will be outnumbered in words approximately 60,000 to 7,000 on a daily basis (http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2006/09/24/sex_on_the_brain/).
2.  Florida law appears to back up my right to defend my home against potential intruders/burglars (note to self, state tax benefits are not the only reason to go through w/ the relocation to Tallahassee ) (http://www.babble.com/CS/blogs/strollerderby/archive/2008/09/23/for-dad-how-to-beat-up-your-daughter-s-boyfriend-and-not-get-caught.aspx).

You might think I would feel a little out of place with zero male companionship…but I’m pretty sure I have some attributes that will help me fit in rather well in the house:
1.  I cried during “Click”.
2.  I couldn’t change a tire if my life depended on it.
3.   I have a man crush on Zach Braff.
4.  I drive a powder blue Prius.

When it comes down to it, I think my only true concerns are financial.  Two college educations?  Two weddings!?!  That’s why I’m starting a new fund to help bolster the coffers for 18 years from now.  I call it the…
                International
                Monetary
                Supplement
                Concerning
                Recovering from
                Educational and
                Wedding
                Events for
                Daugthers\

Please help as much as you can, as often as you can.

A Beginning...

I'm not exactly sure why I'm undertaking this endeavor.  Not exactly true, I'm looking to take over the world, and I figured the first way to start was by writing a blog from time to time.  I'm not exactly a master planner.  Mostly, I think I just want an outlet for creativity...get my once creatively active brain back in the fold...see if there's anything left.  My plan is to take any number of the random thoughts that enter my head on a daily/weekly/whenever basis...and explore them further, either with research, or non-sensical musings...whichever seems to fit at the time.  In other words, it's for me, it's about self discovery, and most often, it will be about nothing.  If anyone enjoys, that would be fantastical.  If no one does, that would be expected.

Until the next time...
