Not bad for a Butcher...

A few days ago a friend and coworker from the early 80's passed my my new office and made the comment... "you have come a long way from slinging milk wires Bryan". He will never know what an impact his comment had on me. Shortly after I walked down the hall to the office of a good friend and a peer in my company and shared the comment, you see Todd and I share a common past and common accomplishments. (if you want to call them that) Perhaps this common past (and common recent job assignments) is why we have become good friends. That and the fact that neither of us sees ourselves any differently today than we did in our "milk slinging days" except I must point out that his go back to the 70's.

I have no idea why I chose to start out my blogging life with this little story, other than the fact that I really dont know where to start. This is the reason (or excuse) that I have never started a journel, I have this need to start everything at the begining and I am just too damn lazy and too slow at typing (yes I said typing, thats what we called when I was in school) to cover the first 42 years of my life before I can talk about today. It would take me until I am 50 just to catch up to 40 and then... Well you get the idea.

So why is blogging different, well I have no idea, perhaps because I don't really know what the "blogging rules" are, nor do I care I am just thinking on paper, or on air, or whatever this medium is.

I guess I will try to blend elements of the past into my entries as I write about what is on my mind today. By the way I don't even know who will see this because I don't know how to add or invite people to my blog. Good thing that I have my young children to show me how and my wife to make this thing and nag me into writing on it. We will just have to see how it goes.

Until next time...
