Hello to all of my new readers from Facebook! After my wife and best friend bitched and whined at for not getting on Facebook, I finally opened an account and jumped feet first (holding my nose like a first grader, no less) into the 21st century. Now, Julia can not get me off my Facebook page fore I have become addicted. (I kept telling her and Ryan this would happen, but did anyone listen? Of course not.)
In honor of my foray into Facebook , I have decided to pull the trigger on revamping my blog and bring this space into the new century as well. It's been a long time coming, as many of you loyal readers already know. I love sports and wrote exclusively about that subject off and on over the past three years. But after I got married, started a new career and started remodeling our house--a never-ending undertaking, for those of you who have yet to make that mistake--I visited this space less and less. When I did venture onto the blogosphere, I was too distracted, overly critical or down right uninterested in saying anything worth sharing.
Although I will still touch on the issue of sports from time to time (when I feel like it, basically) I figure I would just write for your entertainment. That's right, for you, loyal reader! About topics and subject matter that I think is relevant, interesting and life altering. (Okay, I will still be writing about what I want. Its my blog. Sue me.) Don't be surprised to find some political issues touched on from time to time. After all, I like to think I have tried to make the world a better place over my 35 years and Lord knows Republicans out there need a good slap in the face. Why should I not be the one to build bridges?
So without further ado, here it goes. The grand unveiling of the new web page that I have spent...what time is it?...24 minutes overhauling. I hope you enjoy, and I thank you.
This is too good not to share.
