As some of you may recall I’ve tried writing a Blog before and gave it up several times. I’m not sure if it was because I just ran out of interesting things to say or I felt embarrassed to think of myself as witty enough, or smart enough, or delusional enough to need a public forum to speak to the world.
Well, I’ve been trying to update my web presence and have come to conclude that I DO need a blog. Not so much cause the world needs to hear what I have to say but because I need a way to spread the word. And by the word, I mean announcements about my writing, really cool YouTube videos I think people would enjoy, great new music I’ve discovered, thoughts I have on the state of our country, our world, and our society. There are days that I just want to stand up and yell at the world. And since I’m pretty sure my neighbors would rather I didn’t – a blog seems like a less annoying way to go.
So, here we go again. I’ll try to keep it entertaining. I’ll try to keep it updated on a regular basis. I’ll try to keep my rants to a minimum but you should expect to see them once in a while. I’ll try, really try, to make it worth your while.
To quote the bard: “Once more, into the breach!”
(For those of you who don’t know Shakespeare, that’s: “Here we go again!”)

Funny. I just can’t picture Dolly Parton singing
“Once more, into the breach, my friend…”
Hee hee heee. Just ribbing you dude.
And yes, it IS good to have a blog to post all your important announcements. That way when you are busy, and don’t have time to type up a long series of e-mails, you can just point folks toward toward your blog. I do it all the time.
Folks drop me e-mails all the time wanting to catch up and find out what I am up to, and though I generally try to reply in like kind, I also mention at the end of my e-mails that my blog is always there, and easily accessible.
