Starting Now

OK, I’ve got my photos loaded on Flickr, a couple of widgets on the page and I’ve been fifty for like, 43 days. I should be ready to start blogging, right?

I can’t even explain to myself why I want to start blogging… A big reason is simply to keep up with friends better. That’s kind of lame, though, isn’t it? I mean, I should just try harder to call and e-mail my friends, right? Sure – but I’m going to try this for a while, too. Maybe it won’t work out and my friends will keep finding stale posts and cobwebs whenever they log on.

And really, I will call you. I promise.

So. The 2nd half of my life got launched January 11 when I turned fifty. I had a GREAT couple of days and I mean to tell you all about it. For those of you who sign on to Flickr, there are some fun photos of the whole thing too (not all my Flickr photos are public, so some folks will be seeing more than others).

I’m a person who really likes to celebrate my passing years, and 50 was one I wanted to mark well, and I did. So, my first job on this blog is to share the wonder that was my 50th birthday. Then, I might get around to talking about my life at 50 too – and it’s mostly good!
