Hello world!

Hello, World! Welcome to my website, launched today, June 1st, 2018.

I am very excited by this event, and intimidated, as well. This is a big deal for me. I am generally not a guy who delves deeply into self-promotion, and I have no idea how to “blog” properly, or appropriately, whatever the right term would be.

But, like anything else, it is just a new thing which I will have to learn. I am old enough that the original idea of social media was party lines on our family telephone. Does anyone else remember those days? I’m sure a few of you must.

Party lines were great training for what social media is today. You just picked up your receiver and listened. If anyone else was on the party line, you could hear both sides of the conversation clearly and even recognize voices if you knew your local neighbors well enough. So, anything said on the party line was open to anyone else on the party line. If you didn’t want your neighbors to hear or know, you didn’t say it out loud over the phone. Just like today with social media – if you don’t want it known by the world, don’t say it, post it or tweet it.

Anyway, here I am, and I intend to have fun with this new thing. Enjoy life!
