I thought you just had a thing for "public water sports".<BR/><BR/>Seriously, whatever the reason for your blogging, we (your readers) are lucky to have you in blogland. <BR/><BR/>I agree with jeff... just keep doing you and stay true to yourself.

I never even thought of it. I just read a few after my nieces and nephews started up over the past years. I decided way in the beginning that most of what you researched was the only way to "blog". Its an outlet to let your emotions out. It keeps me from actually whacking a snotty mommy or hunting down that telemarketer from India. Its the easiest way to vent and also let the world know you're there, somewhere anyway. And like the suggestions, when you have an audience and you start feel comfortable with what you write, you will be proud to tell whoever about it, family included. But it may lead to some weird looks at funerals...The Middle Liferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03802808343434561548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2613401813743152852.post-28060804972164256292008-05-21T16:28:00.000-07:002008-05-21T16:28:00.000-07:00Hey, I think you've got a great thing going here j...Hey, I think you've got a great thing going here just the way you've done it. I don't see any real need for you to "reveal" yourself unless it's something you feel you need to do for personal reasons. It certainly won't change my view of your writing or your stories.<BR/><BR/>btw, did you draw that cartoon in your post about your grandfather? Because I thought it was pretty cool.Jeff and Charli Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13868852480996815442noreply@blogger.com
