Day 1 (August 22, 2009)

Well, this is the start. I'm trying to move into new (for me) areas of technology. I confess to being a late adapter when it comes to technology. I've been in a bit of a time warp for about 10 years. The last couple of months I've decided to push my comfort zone out of the 1990s. I joined Facebook and am even thinking about getting a text plan on my cell phone. Don't laugh --- I still get TV over the air so this is a big leap for me.



So, why the blog? Well, earlier this week the family and I toured some historic sites in New York. Among them was Eleanor Roosevelt's home in Hyde Park. One thing I learned about her was that she published a daily newspaper article called "My Day" for many years. In essence, she was a blogger with a typewriter.



Now, I'm no Eleanor Roosevelt. But, I admired her discipline. I also have been wanting to do something different with my weekly email reports that have been going out since the early days of email and thought this might be a good venue. We'll see.



What will I blog about? Well, that's a hard question at this point. I'm going to give it a try and see where it goes.



Thanks for reading,



Jeff
