Well, I took the plunge! This is my first blog. I'm about to turn myself inside out. My "privacy quotient" is usually pretty high, but I'm lowering it here.
I have to wonder about this sudden upsurge in blogging in our society... living your private life in public? And why am I doing this?
I guess some more cynical folks would say that blogging is "institutionalized narcissm" and "sanctioned voyerism", but I'm not a cynic ... nope, not me.
There's so much noise out here in the world. Blogging will, I think, help me think out loud with my fingers; to see in my hand what's in my heart! I'll “read’ my brain, instead of listening to it.
My entries are thoughts-observations frozen in time and place. They're cyber-history of interest to almost no one but me and anyone who cares to read it and to comment; it's a conversation with myself---and I hope with you!
Anyway, this is my first installment.

Whooo Hooo!
Joe,
Congratulations on your first blog entry. I'm a relatively new blogger myself. Just something I wanted to look into. Seems sorta fun, especially if you keep a list of blogs you'd like to return to.
I guess when you make your 'diary' public, you have the potential of opening cans of worms. Prudence is in order here. In my opinion, if you use it, blogging can be a lot of fun. I would not normal write day to day B.S. on paper with a pen, but seem to be rather inclined to do it on a computer.
Well see how long my blogging lasts, before it becomes passe.
Welcome.
Ivy.
Funky, Woo hoo to you toooo. Thanks for visiting!
Ivy, good luck on your blog. Hope it lasts a while. I still have to find my "blog voice"...not too heady I hope, but oh well! Take care!
