i shove off into the bloggy waters of worthless banter...

so. this is it. my first blog, and on Friday the 13th no doubt. wait a minute, does this thing have spell check? speel check... oh great... sadly, i have come to accept the fact that i cannot function in this technological world without my electronic spelling chaperone. i have, in fact, become somewhat addicted to the colored squiggly lines that underscore my, all to often, spelling mishaps.

well, this blogging adventure was plotted a couple weeks ago when Darren, our eldest cousin (40?!!), came to visit. we were discussing the fact that outside of tragic circumstances, we cousins don't see much of each other. i mean, after seeing current pictures of Skye and Abbi it dawned on me that these guys are growing up and, wow, has it really been that long since we've been together? meeting at grandma's for special occasions is a lovely idea; but realistically, it's hard to coordinate our hectic lives. darren, 40, and i kicked around the idea that perhaps we could interact with each other through our respective blogs. i think it's a good idea.

so, my blog is born.

ah.. and there's my spell check button! Alas, my kingdom is now whole. i can spell agian!!
