Shaky Beginnings
Okay, so I'm finally jumping on the blog wagon -- look out, everyone, this may signal the end of blogging as you know it. I tend to jump on when everyone else is jumping off -- or maybe they jump off BECAUSE I jump on...
Anyway, I did this just so I can respond to my son's blog (Daydream Believer, Mike McMullen) because I love to read his blogs and comment. Once I do, he lets go of my arm...oh, yeah, I'm kidding...I do enjoy his blogs and I don't comment often enough. The problem with being able to post your thoughts to the universe is that then they are just hanging out there. When no one comments, ever, it must seem like you are conversing with yourself, a practice for which many have been thrown unceremoniously into solitude. Of course, today, when you see someone conversing with themselves, you can assume that they are probably on their cell phone with their microscopic headset capturing the other end of the conversation. Still unnerving...

I never assume they're on a cell phone.
And yes, it is often like conversing with yourself. But I do that anyway in the "real world" so I thought my "cyber world" counterpart should be no different.
