About This Blog


I don't know what I think about a situation until I hear, or in this case, read, what I have to say about it.  Hopefully these ramblings will be coherant enough to be meaningful to the reader, even when it's me.  I expect to get better at this and to shorten the posts and make them more about other people than myself.  But since this has to start somewhere and since some of you who I hope are reading this have yet to let me record your stories I'm here typing away in diary form.

Hopefully this will become a place to share and help remember the "Family Circus" moments that so easily get forgotten with time but will also preserve the "Vietnam's" of our lives that aren't easily forgotten.  There is so much to be learned from the lives of others.  The love of a funny story and the pain of a difficult one both need to be understood by those directly and indirectly touched by this personal history.  As my dad once told me, "Life is about relationships".  Knowing each other better will help us have that many more close relationships.  I hope you enjoy this.

I hope this site will eventually be in the style of Charles Kuralt's "On the Road" or Steve Hartman's "Everybody Has a Story".  I have purchased a voice recorder that I hope to use to add an audio stories and of course photography will be part of this.

Please send me your stories and ideas and I'll share your cute kids or your meaningful experiences with life's challenges for everyone to learn from.
