Hi, I've never really written one of these things before but since I write for a living I figured what the heck.  So what do people write for blogs?  Do people just sound off about things, share their deepest thoughts, or anything and everything?  I guess I will just ramble on until I can not think of what to write anymore.  I found this site as a goof.  My wife is addicted to cafe mom and I jokingly asked her if there wasa cafe dad.  Suddenly to my surprise, here it is! I guess the whole Myspace site was getting played out and I found myself talking tot he same guys I knew from grade school.  It's hard to be the person I am today if all my friends remember me as the guy i was years ago.  I am a father of a special needs child.  Without being specific on his issues, I will say he is a wonderful child with a lot of potential.  He is draining, demanding, nerve wrecking but a very loveable kid who is trying to do what he can to make his mom and I proud.  It is very hard to know when your son has the potential to be normal but in many ways is quite different.  I don't know why, or even how but, he is the way he is.  Heck, I get frustrated because i cant tell when he is being a stobborn kid trying to manipulate me to get his way or if it is his issues taking control.  But anyway, here I am and I am looking to meet some other dads who I can just shoot the breeze with and not be judged.
