And here we go....

Y'all have driven me crazy with these requests for me to start an active blog as opposed to just using Facebook.  The last straw was when Ms Jennifer said to me last night, "You really should start a blog" so you asked for it and here it is, an active blog by me for you. Before we get too cozy we need to layout some ground rules, blogs only work if everyone is playing, if you have a thought, share the thought. I expect each of you to say something, even if it's just a quick affirmation of a point being made. Got something that you think I should address or something you just want my opinion on? Then tell me, I don't have any Jedi powers so waiting on osmosis isn't gonna work.  If you come off the top rope on someone or me then don't start crying like a petulant child when someone does the same thing to you. I expect reasoned discourse and because this is my world my expectations are the law. Think of me as a benevolent dictator, I love each of you but I'm in frikking charge. Relax, visit often, participate, and enjoy your stay, and I'll try to not disappoint you.
