At the recommendation and invitation of two other Rocket City Bloggers (thanks, Carol and Heather!), I have recently begun blogging at Tennessee Valley Moms Network as part of the Anonymous Dads series. (Well, in my case, not so anonymous, obviously.) I’ll be writing about parenthood periodically, probably somewhere between two and four times a month. My first post is You Don’t Always Get to Pick When You Parent, and I’d love for you to go read it. Thank you!

I am part of a nascent group called the Rocket City Bloggers. We meet monthly for talk and good times, and we also do a monthly blog carnival, which I am hosting this month. The theme is passion, and we have five participants:
- Carol wrote of her passion for fashion—an intellectual and substantive one, she is careful to note.
- Amanda offered a passionate culinary window into how she and her husband fell in love.
- Harold took a sustained look at passion for online writing.
- Kristin waxed passionately on Disney addiction (and I’m about to pull the trigger on DisneyWorld plans, so I do appreciate it!).
- Heather wrote of things that sustain her passion for her husband.
I tend to equate passion with youth, and to some degree irrationality. Couple such with my longstanding feelings on marital fidelity, and I had a hard time conceiving a post that didn’t get serious pretty quickly. As usual, my blogging colleagues did very well. Enjoy.

I wrote “rarely senselessly vulgar; frequently slightly tacky” early on in my blog’s life, and it’s still usually what I say when I’m asked to provide a blog description. I envisioned it mostly as a content warning, though I also liked the transposition of the syllable structure from the first phrase to the second. I [...]
