Welcome... But Not Really

I know what you're thinking:  Really?  A blog?  From an old man?  I had that exact same thought.

That's when it hit me.  Blogs have really spanned generations.  Cavemen inked caves to document their lives.  Romans used papyrus.  Pilgrims used parchment.  Secretaries used typewriters.  See? 

Looking back, my first blog post was back in the 3rd grade, Mrs. Youngworth's class.  I wrote a note to Ethel McGee about the high quality trousers my Aunt Binona made.  Mrs. Youngworth intercepted the note and posted it on the chalkboard so everybody could see.  She was trying to make an example of me, but I was proud of my work, my first post in essence.

Now we've progressed.  We have computers and the interwebs.  I've rolled with the times too - I now dictate my thoughts and then Birget, my Swedish housekeeper, types them into the computer so you can read.

I know you'll enjoy.  If a bunch of hen-clucking housewives can blog, I can do it a hundred times better.
