Ok, wow, I somehow have the best luck ever.  First, I married this awesome lady named my wife.  Then, we had the three best daughters imaginable.  Finally, Kathleen Deveny of Newsweek noticed my humble bloggings and found one to worthy of mentioning in Newsweek.  Ok, perhaps being in Newsweek isn't on the same level as my awesome family, but it underscores the point that I am living a life that is both blessed and super fortuitous.  Kathy, we are buds so I call her Kathy, contacted me about my article on "Throwing Away Your Children's Artwork" because she found it to be so groundbreaking and a must have for her article on the same topic.  I, of course, did what any self-respecting blogger does when they are contacted by a huge media outlet like Newsweek--I gave myself a super hard high-five and ran around the house like Kevin McCallister in Home Alone when he made his family disappear.  All that self-congratulating can get old and after three long days of it I was getting really tired and I had to use the bathroom--bad.  Anyways, it just goes to show what hard work, a warped sense of humor and incredible luck can do for a guy.  My next project is of course a book about the experience, or a TV docu-drama or maybe just a book about parenting issues like I write about at my site.  Would you read a Joeprah book?  I know I would.

A lot of people ask me, who is Joeprah?  Who is the guy behind the website?  Who is the person responsible for the hole in the ozone?  Wait, just the first two.  I don't think I did the ozone thing anyways.  I really was inspired to come out of the nerd closet by reading my friend Wendy's recent post.  Apparently, and I don't know how I missed the memo, this is like nerd week or something for bloggers.  Anyways, I thought it would be a great idea to share a little bit about what makes Joeprah a nerd.
