When I started this blog, I originally planned to grow it into an e-zine or magazine. Hey, I came from the print media after all.
As you can tell, I never got around to it, which is fine with me. Why? Well, as much as I like writing about parenthood, I came up with a different topic I’d like to pursue in a couple years. More on that another time.
But I am glad to see that a few other guys are giving the e-zine for dads a go with The Father Life, which published its first edition today.
The creators, Ben Murphy, Ryan Marshall and Ben Loux explain in BusinessWeek that they hope the overall website will grow into a community for dads.
They’re off to a good start, but it will be interesting to see if dads will make the effort to visit. Just don’t steal our audience guys.
Good luck on your new venture.
Don't worry Brett, we won't steal your audience!
Thanks for the post!

I would like to send an advance reading copy of Fat, Fired, and Forty: One Man's Frank, Funny, and Inspiring Account of Losing His Job and Finding His Life by Nigel Marsh (Andrews McMeel Publishing) for consideration for review.
Marsh’s engaging account of one man’s experience “living the dream” -- turning on to his family, tuning into their needs, and dropping out of the executive suite — would surely be of interest to readers of your blog. Please let me know an address to send FFF to.
Many thanks,
