Schooled

Tomorrow -- the kids start school.

Kathy went off to bed.

I'm all alone with this blog again ... so what? I wrote something last night, a starter page for Rat's Nest -- liked it -- handed it off to a few people, one read it and gave me some feedback -- the rest promised to ...

So tonight, I'm blogging to get started -- just kick it off ... get my voice going -- get my thoughts running.

I may have finally gotten to a pattern that can make me write -- I think -- maybe.

The point is that I start with music on headphones, late at night, with the whole world asleep, and just sit down to this thing and chatter -- then, when I'm limber ... I write.

How's that? You get to read my warm up tripe and I get to write what matters to me.

hmmm...

that's about all I've got for the blog -- besides the fact that it's hard to get STARTED writing on this thing -- but at least it publishes. That's good.

I saw some funny stuff on Comedy Central's website about Obama's acceptance speech. He's still my guy -- but I'm a little worried about his financial plans. He wants to strap a lot of financial burden on an economy that's struggling to stay standing right now ... he wants Universal healthcare -- which I think IS critical, but at the same time, mandating that parents MUST insure their children sounds kind of naive to me.

He's also looking to do some things to small businesses that seem myopic to me ... but whatever -- he's still my guy thus far. That's all I've got ... I expect disagreement ... my opinions are my own.

Ok -- I'm off tonight -- can't write much -- put a little here and there ... but there's not much to add -- so I'm gonna go play the Wii... why? Because I can ...
