Let me start by saying that this bog/journal has had lots of fits and starts. While New Year's is an excellent day to begin again, I fully expect that my writing here will be in fits and start. I have lots of reasons to do this journal. Rather than dump them out as kind of a preamble to what you will find here I hope to share them with you in the next few days (weeks?) of writing.
Tonight I write from a couch across from a fireplace with a gently burning fire, with my friend Dave Shannon strumming away on guitar solos. We have been visiting our friends Dave and Janice at their new home on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee. It is always a treat to go visiting what we call the best free B&B experience in NH. Last night we experienced First Night Wolfeboro and today we hiked to Bald Mountain, a good 2 mile scramble to a good views of the lake. Cold day, partly sunny with a breeze and 28 degrees. Nice way to start the new year.
The dinner bell will ring shortly so this post will be short. Really too short for the first post of a ongoing journal, but more to come.
Before I go I need to acknowledge the good model my old friend Doug Hammerstrom has set in his ongoing chronicles - Its Not About Me: http://notaboutme.typepad.com/not_about_me/ . Now the nasty schoolboy is still as confused as his was when I first laid eyes on him about 40 year ago making bunk beds at the IDC, so take what you want from his content. However, the good doctor has constructed an excellent frame which I intend to copy in my own way, 1) Thoughtful prose (Notice Douglas, I said thoughtful, not correct) 2) I listing of what media I am I am currently consuming. Doug does a good job of sharing what music he is listening to, and what books he is reading, I'd like to do that but maybe be a bit broader including podcast I listen to, blogs I like and maybe some social media I connect to,
Let the fun begin!
