My first blog

I've had people over the years assume that I had a blog. Don't quite understand why, but it may have something to do with me bitching and complaining a lot.

When I responded that I didn't, they would say that I should start one. For years I brushed it aside thinking, "I like having a life, thank you."

When I first found out about blogs in 2001, I thought "what a waste of time." A lot of them seemed like online journals/diaries about things from what someone ate for breakfast to their sexual promiscuity. Writing about the cereal one ate, zzzz.... Reading about the diseases someone got from sleeping around, mildly interesting for the first five seconds, then it's zzzzz.

That kind of crap still exists, but I've noticed things have changed and there are more "professional" blogs out there now. Considering what I do for a living and how some people actually enjoyed my group travel emails (always figured it all ended up in the electronic trash), I figured it might be time for this self-proclaimed and proud luddite to evolve.

However I still don't own a computer or have internet at home. Never have and don't ever want to either! But I think those days are numbered.
