The BLOG

Ok, so I am starting a blog. It's my official entry into the 21st century. I've been thinking of the best way to integrate a sustainable process to support an occasional blog. I've discussed the idea of a blog with Jennifer. I thought the best way to publish material that would not be controversial, sensitive, or dorky is to allow her to screen the blog before it is published. She informed me that it would be dorky even with her intervention (what can I say, it's how I roll!). Back to the process, the genesis of my idea for a blog is the wonderful start to the day I have everyday. My wife and I commute to work together and the mornings allow us a good 40 minute commute time to listen to talk radio and discuss current events. Let me tell you, we have solved most of the world's problems on this commute. Not because of any of my doing, but Jennifer has some pretty good positions on issues. So, I thought how selfish it is of me not to share some of the outcomes from our discussions with my friends. I figure I can take notes on my blackberry when I deem something to be blogworthy. After all, I have the worst memory in the history of man. Seriously, I thought I was 22 years old until 2005. You'll probably find my blogs get off point more often than not, that's because I am a rambler. No, not The Gambler - although Kenny Rogers is the man (in large part due to Don Schlitz)! And I'm serious when I say that. My best gift at my 30th birthday party was from Chris Dennison. He got me the Kenny Rogers Greatest Hits CD...got a little tear in my eye. Some of you may know that my parents house burned down when I was in the 5th grade. When that house went up in smoke, so did the strongest Kenny Rogers Cassette tape collection this side of the Ohio River. Oh, it was strong...believe that! And, two years ago at the ASCAP awards, I ate at the table right beside Kenny. I was so close I could have filed an assault charge against his bodyguard. Not because I was a psycho fan or anything, just making reference to how close our table was to his (I have more tact than that...at least in public). Remind me to tell you my Don Schlitz story too, it's pretty strong. Back to this blog thing - once I have determined some blogworthy material, I will spend time during a wonderful TV show (such as LOST) writing a blog for Jennifer to review. Once she approves it, I will publish. I hope the turn around time is fairly swift, I would hate to be posting material about Octumom after all her kids are already grown. That wouldn't be relevant. I can't promise a routine post, but again my goal is a sustainable process that might provide some insight into some of the entertaining outcomes to my daily commute. I wish everyone could ride with us, it is the best! Everyone is welcome to provide feedback, I look forward to better connecting with alot of friends from times of old. And be nice to me on the grammar. Most of you know I am a product of the public school system, and from Kentucky. So I am facing an uphill battle from the start!
