The beginning of the blog

While I was waiting for the bus to take me to the allergist this morning (I got to the bus stop 30 minutes early), I suddenly got the crazy idea of starting this blog.  I know that most blogs die within a few weeks, but I figure, what the heck.  And this way I won't have to bug my family by sending lengthy emails updating them on stuff.  Now I can send them short emails referring them to this blog instead.  :) Once I had made up my mind to do this blog a whole lot of ideas of what to do with it began flooding my mind.  In the past, when I've had these Eureka! moments, I've always thought to myself: "This is so awesome!  I'm never going to forget these thoughts/plans/resolutions."  Of course now I don't remember any of them.  :P  So this time I tried something new.  I wrote down my ideas as they came to me!  :D  What a novel thought!  I've only heard that as a recommended strategy pretty much all my life.  And what do you know!  After I got home the only thing I could remember was some vague notion of a blog.  So, the mere existence of this blog is a testament to the fact that this little strategy works.  Now, we'll see if I can keep this blog alive.  I tend to loose interest in projects after a few days, weeks, or months.
