Ibisdown

When my youngest daughter was two years old, a new word entered our family's vocabulary. She liked to be held so her feet were above her head. She would laugh and say to me "I'm ibisdown daddy!"

It gives you a new perspective on the world - being "ibisdown".

In the spirit of providing another perspective, I offer my thoughts on love, marriage, family and being a father. I have no grand plan and hold no illusions that this will be widely read. I mostly just need a place to collect a series of thoughts that have been brewing in me for a while now. I welcome your comments, reactions, questions.

I don't think an ibis on a normal day would be caught upside down, so I had to flip one. This image comes courtesy of twoblueday on Flickr (Creative Commons license), where you can see it right side up.
