Honey, what is a 'blog' ?

Ree and I were cruising somewhere the other day...I really can't remember...perhaps to the airport, perhaps out to the school, or maybe just to the Dollar General Store. You know how it is with married folk. Some tasks have become so routine and mundane that you just do them; you really don't clutter up the memory cells with the particulars; at least in "Jdubyaland" you don't. I went here or I went there. I saw so-and-so and they asked about Uncle What's His Name; but honey I did not forget the bread, milk this time.

I attribute it to age, stress, or raising children. Most of the time if I can replay the scene in my mind, I can remember many of the details and the more I think of it the more it seems that we were heading to the airport. Give me a second...yep, got it. We were coming into Wiggins on Highway 29...wow, I suddenly don't feel so old....wait wait wait. I was on the phone when we came into Wiggins; Ree was driving. Maybe our conversation happened as we left Richton, or approached New Augusta. Don't you hate that? Ugh......

At any rate, Ree asked the question and I did my best to answer it. As advanced as we like to think we are, we are still light years behind the technology of our day and time. We may never admit it to our teenager, but periodically checking her phone for any signs of wrongdoing really stretches our limits. (While on that subject let me say that we trust our daughter and we are very proud of her. She is a very responsible, mature, and SAVED young lady. It is the rest of the world we do not trust. If you are a parent and you do not check up on the world's influences on your child, let me encourage you to do just that. Rest assured, you will be questioned about how you brought those kids up and the One doing the questioning will already know the answer. But I digress...)

As I was explaining to Ree what I knew about blogging, which took all of about one minute, it dawned on me that I should make a run at this. I always seem to have something to say and my thoughts often run from the deep and philosophical to the outright nutty. Such is my personality I suppose. Having recently taken a hiatus from all social networking sites that were consuming my time like a huge life-sucking monster, I miss those quips and quotes and general "questions and comments on life and stuff" that I had become accustomed to making from time to time.

To that end, for what it's worth, I blog. I blog therefore I blog. Who knows which direction we will take. Maybe deep and philosophical...perhaps witty and laden with non-sequiturs and useless trivia. Either way, it will come from the heart and from my over-active mind. I hope in doing this I can clear the clutter from time to time, and inspire someone or at least tickle their funny bone.

Stay tuned...this should be interesting...
