Jack & Jill Put Up A Blog

Here’s what led us to onramp the InforMEtion Superhighway.

Everybody else’s blogs got all up in our faces. “Blog” this… “blog” that. Blah, blah, blog. How about blahg? That’s what all this inforMEtion seems to be at times. We wanted a way to document our life’s goings on. Not so much day to day what-we-did lists, but what’s crossing our minds at what points in time. Also, we, or at least I, want to learn what the all the fuss is about. Blogging doesn’t seem to be going away. Seems a growing beast.

Clearly I don’t know too much about it. There are the blahgs that are about nothing but “Hey this is how I spent my time in uzbekisganza. See my hair is braided with shells!” Cool. It’s like an online scrapbook for friends and family. Fair enough. Then there are the blAHHHgs. Those blogs that make a positive impact on society with their in depth news gathering and reporting. The fact that someone’s blog has exposed this or that politician or brought light to this or that issue and bettered peoples lives. This amazes me. Truly power of people.

Then there are the really cool blogs that simply share great ideas and tips on life and living. They make this wide world seem like a little community. It’s like having some really smart neighbors from whom to learn.

I’m not sure where this puppy will wind up. Yet. I hope to learn a bit; have a laugh; lighten up; and drink some great wine through it all. And stop watching so much G’d damn TV.
