This is my first post ever and might I just say: it is odd. I feel like I’m publishing my journal, which is…uncomfortable. To say the least. Not that I keep a journal. But if I DID, it might be something like this. Only private. So, it might take a while to get into the swing of things. Anyway, this is unimportant. What is important is that, inspired by my friend Sam (not to be confused with my husband Sam, who will undoubtedly be thrilled that I’m actually writing), I decided to start my own blog. Thank you, Sam! Love your blog, by the way. And PS: I had tickets to a Howard Jones concert in 1984 but I got drunk and subsequently fell down and was subsequently busted by my mom who subsequently grounded me and I subsequently missed the HJ concert I’d been D-Y-I-N-G to see. But I did get to see the Thompson Twins the next month, so all was not lost. Okay, I think I’m getting a feel for this blog thing. Anyway, I fired up this blog because I figure this to be a good way to let family and friends (and strange lurkers, too, I’m sure) keep up with our day to day lives. As if we’re interesting enough to warrant any hits. Although, now that we’re parents to a 10 month old dog, Ella and 5 month old human, Ruby, we might actually portray the image of an interesting life. At the very least, we think we’re fascinating. Don’t you? Stay tuned…
