Decade Dance

Some may say, "Has it been 10 years already?" Others will opine that it seems like 20. The truth is probably a little bit of both.

My initial goal was to write because I needed to. When I began my blog, I wasn't doing much creative writing for work, and I wanted to improve my skills and tackle topics that had meaning for me. Or, quite frankly, just to have a little fun wordsmithing non-events in my all-too-boring little life.

Scouting for cake. (Not me in the photo.)

Mr. Ginley pointed out that this would also be a good way for future grandchildren to know me. (No pressure, J&J, just looking ahead.)

Whether you've been with me since the beginning or you came to the party a little later, thanks for reading. I hope you find something in my meanderings that makes you laugh or think or roll your eyes. 

So have a piece of cake or raise a glass and think of me today. 

And while you're raising that glass, I'd like to do a shout-out to Erin O'Brien. It was her talk at the Lakewood Library that got me started writing this blog in the first place. So, in a way she's partly responsible.

But please don't hold it against her!
