Well here it is.  My “hello world” moment. 

I have avoided blogging as long as I could.  As a web designer, I suppose I should be operating no less than 10 blogs on everything from Mac vs. PC to the best way to cook a turkey.  But for some reason, I’ve been reticent to join the masses who spend so much time telling me what they’re reading, or why I should hate Microsoft, or . . . 

Yet here I am, shoving letter upon letter into the database of blogdem.  And I must say, I feel the power.  Oh yes, that kind of Tom Cruise “need for speed” power (not the jumping up and down on Oprah’s furniture kind of power).  I knew the instant I pressed this Save and Submit button that millions of blogamaniacs would be notified of my post.  Half of you probably spilled coffee on your keyboard trying to click fast enough to read what I had to say.  Right?

Of course in reality, I know most of you have perhaps already left this page and are not even reading this line that addresses you specifically.  [enter crickets chirping]  But just in case you are still with me, here’s a blog that promises two things:

1. You will most likely NOT find daily or even weekly posts to this blog.  You may see 5 or 10 in a row. Then you may see nothing for two, maybe three presidential terms.  Who knows?  I can only tell you that my last journal, all 5 pages, covered fifth grade to my first voting election.  But those were five awesome pages.

2. When I do post, you might hear about politics, religion, literature, drums, computers, and most certainly my family.  Now that’s some good material! 

So, if you’re as bad at using Google as my wife claims to be, and you have no working knowlege of how to find truely good reading material on the web, I’m here for you.

Till next time . . .
