A few weeks ago I got a call from a very nice woman at the Commercial Appeal who wanted to know if I might like to do a weekly parenting column. "Sure, why not?" I said.
Wait, weekly...that's a lot of pressure! I thought.
"Can I bring my friend, RJA?" I asked.
She agreed, and now RJA (who's true identity will soon be revealed!) and I are taking turns writing a parenting column entitled, "Because I Said So." It's going to run on the cover of the "M" section every Thursday, starting tomorrow.
And apparently, it's going to be posted on website the Wednesday before. So, by all means buy yourself a paper tomorrow! But if you can't wait, read my first installment Hey Ma! Can I wear my birthday suit now? online.

Shit. Guess I should write something.
Wow, I know famous people!
Did you copy your blog title from this person, whose story ran in the CA last September?

anonymous--i'm not sure what you are talking about. my blog title--fertile ground--comes from the zine i started 5 years ago.
i read that article and don't see any thing about fertile ground in it.
?
Congratulations on hitting the "big time". I'm already a fan of your short pieces for the Memphis Flyer and the Health & Fitness publications. I look forward to your parenting columns as well...
Great job!
Way to go!!!
Loved your first column!
I still can't believe they rejected "Furftile Ground" as the column title.
