Why Blog?

I thought about blogging a while ago. It looked like fun and a good way to share your thoughts and life's activities with others. But what would I write? All I would need to say was, "See Amy's and Kathy's blogs." It seemed that a good deal of my life was taken up with them and their lives.
However, after seeing the published books of their blogs, I realized that this is a great way to journal. I'll admit that I have not been very good at writing in my journal, and this looks like a lot more fun, so why not. Besides that, even though a lot of my life parallels my kids, I certainly have a different perspective. So here goes, my attempt to keep my family and friends informed and a written record for my posterity.
