Fathers, those underappreciated of the parental persuasion, often have a sneaky way of being darling. Witness this recent email from my Dad:
Thanks for calling today.. I really enjoyed hearing from you. You always have something interesting to say. You’re fun.
Love,
Dad

In other news, CrankMama will soon be wearing a pretty new dress, with a matching web address and pearls…
www.crankmama.com
Here’s a sneak peak:



Awww. What a nice thing to hear from your dad!
I want a dad like that.
Can’t wait to see your new party dress - are you doing it yourself?
No Andie, darlin’, I have no design or tech abilities… so my two fancy girl partners are doing it. More on that later….
Does the horn vibrate?
James bought me the .com for One Weird Mother,but so far it is just a redirect.
Sounds like a cool dad. When is the huge release party for the new site?

That is really awesome, and I so appreciate you sharing it! It’s always uplifting to have your parent appreciate you as a person, adult, individual as well as a beloved child. Your dad is the best!
Love the new logo! Stunning. Hey, did you see Blogher from a couple of days ago? That was exactly the passage from your ROFL post that made me laugh out loud.
What a nice E-mail, And what a GREAT logo! Happy Thanksgiving!
Me again. Surfing for last-minute recipe help, and thought I’d wish you a Happy Cranksgiving!
oooh posh! will we be able to find you easily? would hate to miss out on my daily dose of crank …

Ooh! A new blog dress? One can never be too settled in one’s template, nor one’s platform - that’s my view!
Great logo!
That’s nice that your dad said that. Wish mine would.
Great note from your dad!
In man-speak that’s pretty sentimental stuff.
