“People have to talk about something just to keep their voice boxes in working order so they’ll have good voice boxes in case there’s ever anything really meaningful to say.”

~Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

About a month ago, I wrote two guest posts back to back.  Both for sites I really liked, and both escorted to my door by the kindness of others.  They’ve been off of my desk for over three weeks.  Coincidentally, they both landed within a day of one another.

The first is from Zen Habits.  Leo is one of the reasons I started blogging.  I came across his blog when the word still tumbled around my mouth with an unfamiliar taste, like flange or kumquat.  I found him on Digg, and was struck by the long arm of a single voice.

The second post is from the Art of Manliness, a truly unique Blogopolis beacon.  It’s an old fashioned blog (if such an oxymoron could ever exist), that speaks to the lost art of being a man.

I’m especially proud of these two posts, and would like to point you in their direction.  The Zen Habits post is “Breaking a Bad Habit Shatters the Rung Beneath You.” The Art of Manliness post is  “Teaching My Son to be a Man.”

If you have a moment, please check them out.  I’d also like to thank Eric Hamm for putting Leo and I together, and Hayden Tompkins for finding me a place where I could share what Daisy, Max, and Mia have taught me about being a man.  Thanks guys.
