New blog.  First post.  Here are the basics you'll need to know to follow this blog, my blog, on urbanmoms.ca.

For one, to nip the uncertainty in the bud, I am not a woman nor am I a Mom.  I am a Dad (and a man, for the record). My profile pic is not a mistake.  I am not lost.  I am the Y chromosome to your X's, and I'm here to give you the alternative view on life as a parent.  The Dad's view.  At least as I see it.

In the posts that will follow, I'll tell you all about my experiences as a Dad to 16-month old "Pea", an obvious alias I use to refer to my beautiful, über-intelligent and super cute little girl.  You'll hear about the amazing things she does and the challenges I face trying not to break her. It'll be great.

For the record, I am at this moment the only Dad blogger on urbanmoms.ca.  Does this mean I'm the man?  Literally, yes.  But figuratively, no.  Blogging about being a Dad, to an audience that consists almost entirely of new, soon-to-be and veteran Moms is a weighty responsibility and I plan on taking it seriously.  You have my word.

What else?  I'm in my early 30's.  I live in Mississauga, which is in Ontario.  I use... a lot... of ellipses.  I am sarcastic to a fault.  And you will probably find spelling and grammar errors everywhere (this despite the fact that I work in Communications and more or less write for a living). 

Your feedback is welcome and appreciated.  I have a thick skin and a desire to get better.  Oh, and if there's anything you want my opinion on, let me know.  I aim to please.

So there it is.  The intro post to Father Knows Best?

À la prochaine.
