I Plead Ignorance

I thought since the rest of the family has started a blog maybe I should give it a shot. I am not a great writer, unlike my nieces, nephews, sons and daughters, but I will give it a shot. My younger sister (boy that is funny since she is almost a half of century old) started the first blog in the family and while I may not be able to come up with the same interesting blogs she does (Survivor, American Idol or the Partridge Family) I will never the less try.

I think the title of the blog will fit since this will be my random thoughts about various subjects. I will at times blog about sports, family, politics, hunting, fishing, well you get the idea. I will from time to time jump up on my soapbox but I will try to keep it to a minimum, besides if you don't like it there is always the little red "x" in the upper right corner of your screen that will close out the screen.

I have thought about doing a blog for a while now but I didn't have a clue how to get started until my younger sister ( yeah the one that is almost a half of century old) started one. That gave me some hope, I thought if she could do it just maybe, maybe I could figure it out. I am not sure I have it figured out yet but this blog, like all blogs I suppose, will be a work in progress. I guess you can say she inspired me along with a niece and nephew. I will try not to rehash items that have shown up on their blogs (unless they give me an idea that I can expand on.). As long as The Dirt Road Girl continues to talk about Survivor and American Idol I really don't think that will be a problem anyway. I have never watched either one of these American classics. With the Dirt Road Kid talking about university life and teaching and the Dirt Road Middle Child discussing Mickey D's and hair plugs I really don't see a problem here either.

I have talked to two of my kids about writing a blog and it sounds as though they may start one of their own too. I am hoping so because it will be one way for me to keep track of them. Maybe. And maybe, just maybe, they will keep me informed about what they are doing. Nah, who am I kidding.
