First Post...Maybe the Last

So, finally I’ve given in, I have a Blog. For months now I have remained on the fringe of the blogging world. First I started reading blogs, initially just my wife’s because I wanted to see if she was telling lies about me. Then I started reading other peoples blogs, like Randall’s and Dixie’s. Sorry Marc, I have never read your’s, I only had time for one Vandersluys blog and lets face if you’re only going to read one why the not the one with the half naked pregnant lady’s picture. Then I read a few more like Sweetie G’s (in spite of who her dad is), and the Deutschers (only because their kids like hockey, even if they like Ottawa, they will learn, go wings go). Then I started leaving a few comments here and there, only when I felt I could no longer be silent and thought my comments would make a difference (OK, it was more like I had a wise a _ _ remark and couldn’t hold my tongue). So today is sort of my coming out (not of the closet, I know that’s what you were thinking).

As the first Blog posting I thought it would be appropriate to let everyone know what you could except on my blog. I wanted to be up front, this way after reading this first blog you can decide if you ever want to return. Basically, you can expect a whole lot of nothing on my blog. No real thought provoking discussion on the meaning of life, no in depth analysis of Canadian politics, no earth shattering revelations of any kind. Don’t expect me to post daily, weekly or even monthly, it is hard to know how often I will have a thought worthy enough to blog about. I might talk about my kids because in the winter they consume every spare second of our lives with hockey, figure skating, piano, drums, and on and on. Maybe some thoughts about my wife and how she is the best wife in the world for putting up with me. I might talk hockey, because hockey rules and it Canada’s game. Eventually I might even post about how to shave your head, because not everyone can make bald look good.

This is still a work in progress, as I don’t really know what the heck I’m doing. Sorry no fancy Friesen-cam. I haven’t got a picture of me posted on my blog yet. I’m still debating in my mind whether I should or not. I don’t know if I want people that read my blog on a regular basis knowing what I look like. If I meet them in the grocery store they might want to run me over with their shopping cart, as I’m sure I’ll have offended them at some point.

So, if you’re visiting for the first time or your last time (maybe your first time is your last time) leave a comment. If I don’t like what you have to say I’m sure there is a way to delete it before anyone reads it, I just have to figure out how.
