blog? what blog?

well, i've completely fallen down on the blogging. i started this blog a few weeks ago with great ambitions about all the witty prose i'd be pouring into cyberspace, and after only a few meager posts, it all dried up. i could come up with a list of reasons why - work got busy, we went out of town, my son got sick, i went diving, i got a new guitar - but if i were really committed to this blogging thing, i'd have been writing about all those things, not using them as reasons not to write.

so, here i am writing again. all the reasons why i didn't write before really did happen, so maybe i'll write about some of those still. my latest obsession is my new guitar - a taylor 314ce - it's quite lovely, and sound great, too. now i just need to get better at playing it. i mean, i'm ok, but barely, and this guitar deserves to be played. i'm looking into lessons. when i'm going to be able to do that, i don't know, but i'm working on it.

i like this guy's blog

my blog is currently quite lacking in content. but this guy's isn't: http://metrodad.typepad.com/

my blog is newer than your blog!

this is officially the newest blog. or at least it was until the instant i started it, by which point i'm sure hundreds of others started newer ones. how fast things fade.

anyway, i decided to start a blog because i wanted to share that i have a new neice today! she's so new i dont' even know her middle name, but the names i do know are charlotte moody! very exciting. so lisa and i have a neice, owen has a cousin, amy and doug have a daughter ... etc. i have little faith in the tech savvyness of my relatives to send or post photos soon, but i'll hope for the best.

that's it for today. not bad for a first post, though, eh?
