Well, here it is. I have thought about it, talked about it, admired others and wished I had more time to do it. Finally I have decided that a blog is the perfect way to simultaneously record the events of my family and satisfy my insatiable need to write, ruminate and wax philosophical. I know I do not really need another "thing to do", but I am realizing more and more that I do need to pick things to do that are lasting and therapeutic. I hope this blog proves to be both.
