Episode #1: First Blog


Blogging.

After some urging from my little sister, I found myself over the last week or so contemplating this idea, and decided, 'well, the heck with it.' So here we are.


I've heard of some funny postings. I've read some. I've even responded to quite a few, or posted my comments on friends sites, but never had my own. My perception has always been that the idea of not picking up a phone, or even putting pen to paper - the classics - should remain a constant, but then looking at how often I actually do those things, led me to this. Blogging.


You won't find me on myspace or facebook, for sure. Seems to me to be too much work. Post pics, profile updates, links to bandsd. Add a friend, delete a friend, request a friend. I have friends. And I don't have a dire need to reach out to those that I need to have back as friends. Most of the people that have come and gone in my life, I would still consider friends, but people grow apart, and for various reasons, touch base again, and then move on. Plus there's, 'okay, I sent/received a notify/contact/friend request, now what do I talk about with a person I haven't said a word to for ten-years-ago?'


So after Christi pointed out that this would be a good idea to post pics, and update the peeps on stuff, and it's not the same thing, and pretty simple, I jumped in.


Ana will, I'm sure, urge me to post more and more, and we'll stay on it as best we can. So let's see where this goes...

HOORAY!!

I'm so stoked. Of course, that's because I'm the one who told you to do it. How often does the little sister get to tell her big brother what to do -- and he actually DOES it?! So cool.

This is going to be fun. I hope you get the blogging bug and catch on to how cool this can actually be.

Love ya, bro. And love to you, Ana, too.

Wow!

A real cool blog from a real cool son...

I am in awe, I am taken aback, I am dumbfounded, I am shocked, I am a bit dazed....but obviously, not a bit at a loss for words--hehe NEVER!!

Welcome to the blogging world, Bob (and Ana, by proxy). Wow, gee, by golly--I can see the light all the way over here on the west coast that is shining from your sister's beaming face in Florida! : ) (Okay, C--who's next?!?!)

Love the words, love the pics, love the wedding site, and love you guys even more!
