I'm going to start blogging again. You may not care (and that's OK).

On September 14, 2020, I received in the mail a diploma from West Virginia University that officially conferred upon me the degree of Master of Science in Integrated Marketing Communications.

Five minutes later, I started thinking about resurrecting this blog. I resisted the temptation for a couple of months.

Until now.

Starting today, I'm going to give this another shot. I have no idea who's going to read it, but then again, YOU'RE here. So there's that.

I began blogging nine years ago in late 2011. I wrote 114 posts between then and the end of 2012. Then 117 more in 2013.

Then just three in all of 2014.

Followed by 160 posts in 2015.

Then a combined 80 posts over the next two years. And a grand total of eight posts over the subsequent three years, most of which were taken up by grad school.

The point being, I've been inconsistent with this thing.

This is something like the fourth official incarnation of what used to be TheyCallMeDaddy.com, then became TheyStillCallMeDaddy.com, and ultimately morphed into 5Kids1Wife.com because some Japanese guy bought the theystillcallmedaddy.com domain (that's true).

Two things to expect:

• I will try and keep these posts as short possible. No one has the time or desire anymore to read something that takes longer than about 1 minute to get through. This post is already too long.
• I will try and post something every day at around 8am Eastern. I will not succeed in this. There will be many days I do not post, and I am going to be OK with that. Really I will.

The link to each day's post will be shared on both Facebook and Twitter, though you can just visit the blog directly at www.5kids1wife.com and skip the middle man.

If you like what you see, you're always encouraged to share this content on your social media channels.

If you don't like it, we can still be friends. Not good friends, but still friends.
