Facebook can be a wonderful thing. When I put out the call for active, loving and most importantly, involved, dads to interview for an article, some of my favorite guy pals responded with gusto.

If you follow my weblog or Facebook or Twitter accounts, you know I'm always working on something. Usually I keep it hush-hush until publication, but I thought I'd share a sneak peek of one of my next articles!

You might want to invest in Kleenex. The latest issue of On The Minds of Moms Magazine is out and my latest profile piece for them is about a mum who loses her baby two weeks before her due date. Sad is an understatement.

I thought it might be fun to revisit the past and share some of my former posts with you. And, I'd like to offer my thoughts today on what I wrote back then. Obviously, a lot has changed. You'll find ...
Patricia Carlson Freelance is suffering from an identity crisis.
Is it a blog?
Is it a website?
The answer is... it's both. A weblog? A blosite? wlogsite? A blogweb?

Have you heard of Prolotherapy? Unless you've been in the market for a knee or hip replacement, my guess is 'no.' But it's a neat therapy option for folks wanting to avoid surgery - like my mum.
So I wrote about it for MN Good Age Magazine.
Here's a preview:
"Dr. Frank neufeld, a dentist from Hutchinson, MN, remembers the exact moment his favorite hobby sidelined him with searing pain. “The first time I hurt my knee I was running on the beach in the Cayman Islands,” says the 70-year-old avid runner. “That ...
