For those who have enjoyed my father’s frequent comments as well as occasional guest posts, please note that he’s blogging for Daniella over at Daniella’s Misadventures while she runs off to get married and have a honeymoon.

Although this is the first time that Dad and I have blogged simultaneously, I just wanted to make clear that there’s no competition between us.  We have entirely different agendas.  He’ll be spending the next few weeks trying to encourage everyone to vote for the libertarian presidential candidate, whereas I’ll be encouraging readers to send me pictures of themselves in their underwear.  It’s this mutual understanding of our respective differences that is the key to our strong relationship, although my agenda, unlike his, actually has a snowball’s chance in Hell of happening.
