Who Needs a Blog?

Is what I've said to myself and anyone who dared ask me if I had one over the years. However, here I sit, posting for the first time on my very own blog. In my mind, I've elevated this moment to something grander than I'm sure it really is. While I like to think of it as some giant step forward, the beginning of a journey from which there is no turning back, the suspicion that it is much more like the proverbial tree falling in the woods with no one around to hear it lurks ominously close. For right now, though, I will bask in the reflected glow of the LCD monitor that son #2 scratched with a pin when it was nearly new and he old enough to know better. I will believe that I have done something big, something bold, and proudly answer "Yes, I do have a blog." the next time someone asks.
