So, here’s the first blog. Congratulations on finding me on the information super highway. You might be wondering what catapulted me into the world of web logging. Well, it all started not too long ago with a little person known as “me.”
Lately I’ve been struggling inside. I feel myself cracking up at everything that I say, do and think. Yet, strangely enough, the people closest to me do not seem to be suffering from uncontrollable fits of laughter. Worried that maybe I’m out of tune with today’s comedy I took a good look at myself. The answer was clear. I’m just not voicing my point of view loud enough or to nearly enough people.
I asked myself, “Self, what’s the easiest way to reach a vast amount of people in a little bit of time.”
Myself, obviously caught of guard, stumbled around “umms and hmm” before blurting out the first logical answer that came to mind, “The Pony Express.”
“Self, that’s a horrible idea. That doesn’t even exist any more. I’ll just use the internet. Gosh, you’re helpless.”
So, here I am. I had a lot of plans for the inaugural blog, but I didn’t realize how long it would take to set up this thing. I had to even create a new email address. Well, it’s not that I had to do that, but I’d like to keep my personal email address off the web. Also, my new blogger email address will be used exclusively for fan mail. This frees up my other 6 accounts for business as usual (which is divided up as follows: band mailing lists, online shopping receipts, online banking accounts, online banking accounts backup accounts, local news letters, and general correspondence).
After all of this, the only thing I have time to comment on is Yone Minagawa. At the age of 114, she passed away today. Congratulations to Edna Parker, who is now the oldest person alive in the entire world. I’m sure Edna is having a rocking time tonight! And thank you, Edna for bringing the pride back to America and giving millions of us young American girls something to strive for - Thank you! Interested in reading more about Yone and Edna?
