First! After reading blogs for years, I always wanted to do that. This “blog thing” has always interested me. Not in the celebrity gossip way, that certainly makes sense, but in the way where a person chronicles a life event or huge change or just about anything that used to go into a small locked book under the bed.So now, I jump into that exercise as I use this blog for a couple of reasons. First, it will be a repository for thoughts and ideas about whatever my fat head is focusing on. Second, I am going to keep track of my battle of the bulge. And, third, it will cover hobbies, like art collection, coaching youth lacrosse, and, finally, my collection of animals at home. We will see where this goes. Most likely, it will go down the path of many of my endeavors: a flurry of activity, followed by a great silence, followed by a flurry. On to the blogging!
