Next up is a cleaning up of [...]

Three Years Ago Today…

May 8th, 2009 · No Comments · @me, blogging, history, just musings, writing of place

I started down a path I am still walking today.
Inventing the Myth as I Go
Where am I heading and how will I get there?
You are welcome to come along for the ride. Try not to fall off as we round the curves…
I have tried to do this blog thing before and haven’t managed to develop [...]

SIMPLY WAIT: 10 WAYS BLOGGING WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE and a quote about ice-cream

May 5th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Writers, just musings

One of the things I like most about this thing we call Blogging is number 2 on Patry Francis’ list. And she ranks up there at the top of my amazing people list. Patry published this list back around Thanksgiving in Twenty O’Six. I stumbled across it again today as I was looking through some [...]

Journalism in the 21st Century…

December 23rd, 2008 · No Comments · Writers, blogging, media

Sunday Morning Musing

July 20th, 2008 · No Comments · just musings

Pardon the parsity of the recent posts. I find myself in that strange world of being in between. After thirty-five years at the same company (yes, most of my co-workers weren’t even born when I started), I find my skills and knowledge not as welcome as they were.
