Welcome to my blog.

I’ve considered starting a blog or a website many times before. I think the main reason I haven’t was that I didn’t have enough free time to write consistently and make it a habit. My kids are out of the house and I have a much shorter commute, so I consider this problem solved.

The next consideration is: What is the point, who am I writing for? Well, the real answer is myself. I want to use this blog to grow my observation skills, creativity and intellectual thinking. I don’t want this to be a journal that mostly looks inward, rather I want to mostly look outward. I’m always impressed by a novelist’s ability to be so observant and thoughtful. I want to grow that skill, and I believe this blog can be a step in that direction.
