What this is

My original thought with this blog was to have a place where me and Dad could toss up interesting articles and thoughts, not as a public service to everyone, but as a way for us to communicate and archive what we are thinking. As I thought on it more, I realized that this blog could potentially do more. Mom might want to toss up pictures from a vacation and Arianna might want to drop a note that she will be in Maine for the weekend. As I mulled over the idea even further, I realized that perhaps Dad might want to post an article, show it to Uncle Jimmy, or even show it to someone outside of the family.

I have settled on a quasi-open forum and I will let it evolve where it wants to. I have dropped invitations for editing rights to everyone in my nuclear family and a few others. If anyone else wants rights to drop a post onto this blog, just give me a call or drop em an e-mail. Anyone is free to post what they want, but keep in mind that for now this is an open site that anyone on the Internet can reach. I have made no attempt to get this blog listed so I doubt it will suffer much traffic, but I advise against posting anything you wouldn't want seen in public.

I personally will use this blog to keep everyone up to date with what I am doing, drop interesting articles, post up thoughts I have had, and maybe toss up a picture or two. I invite anyone else to use this forum however they see fit.

edited: Anne found my use of "throw up" to be abhorrent, so I have edited all the "throw up" to "toss up". Maybe she will love me now.
