Sunday Shout-Out #21: Ann’s Rants, HBDC Virtual Road Trip continues & new in my reader

shout out 21

This week’s Sunday Shout-Out goes to Ann @ Ann’s Rants, another one of those bloggers that I discovered over at Humorbloggers dot com. Yep, one of those.

She began this blog back in October 2008. Why? Well, as she said it then in that first post, “My ovaries keep demanding I conceive something, so I thought my brain might distract them a bit if I got creative enough. Only time will tell.”

She also said she hoped her blog would provide “parents a moment of shared commiseration, compassion and hopefully humor.” It has done all of that, especially on the humor side, even as a non-parent.

One of her regular features is Free Association Friday. Other than that, pretty much anything goes and does.

This week, though, she is having a series of guest posts from man bloggers, including myself, for a week she is calling Man’s Rants. I can’t tell you when mine will be posted, but who cares? All of the posts ought to be a lot of fun to read.

Like last week, another place I’m going to tell you to go, and no, don’t worry I’m not going to be mean and say something unkind either this week, is the the Humor Bloggers dot com Virtual Road Trip.

Last weekend began in Portland, Oregon with VE @ VE’s Fantastical Nonsense for two parts: One and Two.

The trip continued in Manitoba, Canada with Venom @ Venom, Secret and Lies on Thursday and thus far, as of Saturday night, she has had two more parts: Two and Three.

To see where the tour goes this week, check out the schedule here.

Lest you think everything here is HBDC related, I do belong to two other online communities: Humor-Blogs.com and BlogStorm, where among those I have met are the authors of the following blogs that I’ve added to my reader this week:

Can o’ Whup-Ass

Mad Science

The Misadeventures of Derek Bowles

The Trials of a MadMan

Dead Rooster

No Cleaning Here

Both Stephanie @ No Cleaning Here and William McCamment @ Dead Rooster had been in my reader and on my blogrolls previously, but for one reason or another, were…uh…misplaced. Yeah, let’s call it that, but regardless now they’re back and I’m glad to have them back as part of the family here. :-)
