Welcome Home Sweet Chicken!
Hey everyone! I hope this blog finds you doing well in your neck of the woods! I wanted to start a blog and share with those near and far what I'm learning, how I'm growing, and what I'm simply enjoying these days. I look forward to sharing and hearing what your thoughts are as well. Good Times, Great Oldies!
Blogs seem to be the way that we get to know each other's stories. As technology is not my thing I have fought the urge to be a part of the bloggosphere, if you will, for a long time. Yet, the more I hear from friends, the more I am discovering that this is the way to community...relationships are actually happening through a managerie of wires and stuff that I don't understand. Therefore, I wave my white flag and surrender to the powers that be, that is, the internet. I hope you will also fight the initimidation and join me!
Stay classy people!

You're waving the white flag? What about going down with the ship and not putting your hands up and surrendering? Dido will be disappointed.
No, I am very glad you have surrendered and joined the blogosphere. Sweet Chicken! indeed.

Yeehaw!
Don't worry, blogs don't suck you in and take your time, life, women and children away like I was afraid they would. They can even be neat. I'm glad you've joined the rest of us on the "internet." (Sh, it's okay, I don't really believe it exists either.)

hey nathan! welcome to st. louis blogs! so, i think a lot of us are on wireless computers now and these relationships are forming through little invisible waves floating through the air rather than wires and stuff. But, i must say that was excellent use of the word "managerie" it's just not a word you hear every day : )

I don't know if this is blog-etiquette...however you spell that word...but, I will respond to a few of these comments...
Claire- you comments made me laugh...didn't think about the wireless sitch, however I found it hilarious that you of all people made the comments about relationships through the web as opposed to through actual relationships, people-to-people I mean. That's some sort of buxtaposition, I mean juxtapostion...ha!
Kirk- thanks for the encouragement...I hope to write some more on Sunday...until then, have a great weekend!

Woo Hoo! Good to have you with us! Dassler was right in his prediction of the punny nature of your posts. Just have fun with it...

Blogging can occasionally be hazardous, particularly during school time.
For me, blogging = time syphon.
I am glad your aboard.
