Day 1 - A sign of the apocalypse

For several weeks now, my friend Mike has been blogging.  It makes sense for him.  After all he's a normal Pittsburgh guy turned West Coast tech guru.  Mike and his brother, and few others from our collective hometown, have created a wildly successful news website known as Topix.  When Mike began blogging, I chuckled.  To me, it has always been sort of squirrelly computer thing to do.  However, Mike suggested that it is like having a online diary that, if he sticks with it, he'll be able to look back on it for many years to come . . . an online This is Your Life, if you will.

Well, I've always enjoyed writing (perhaps more than my day job), and since the local rag won't give me my own column, I've decided to succomb to the world of blogs.  Provided I stick with it, this will be a home for my thoughts, musings and ideas.  I'm not really a pro at anything.  But I'm happy to share my thoughts on parenting, sports, current events, and generally anything that comes to mind.  As my friends and family will concur, I'm not short on opinions.

I never thought I'd say this, but "Let the blogging begin!"
