OK. So New Year's Resolution #1 is met. I have created a blog. I did this for several reasons...
#1 it seems everyone who is someone has a blog
#2 I am too verbose for twitter and facebook. My designers at work tell me this all the time when I am writing promotional copy
#3 I am thinking that one day I may follow in the footsteps of my own authors and our fiction editor and write my own novel and felt this was a good way to start.

But my main reason is that I feel I have stories to tell...lots of stories. I am the obnoxious person at the office, who not matter the topic of conversation, has a story to tell. Some think this is my attempt to one-up the speaker, but really, I have had sooo many adverntures that I do have a lot of stories.

Some of you may remember the old Mac Davis tv variety show. At the end, he would sit in the audience and allow guests to offer a word or two and after collecting about 10 or so words, we would put them into a song.

My brain works the same way. When I hear a conversation, I usually can pull a story out of my life or the life of someone close to me. But I can't sing, so for now, these stories will just stay in written word!

All for now.
