The pictures here are of me as an old man when I learn to play the guitar and sing for loose change and then when they shrink my head and put me in an Ecuadorian museum. They're pics from our trip to Ecuador.

Welcome First Timers to my Blog
I'm really sheepish about publishing my own opinions despite how much I may like to talk about them and how correct they all may be. It just strikes me that this may be a good way to post stories or events or announcements or anything that we'd like to post in order to keep in touch. I looked into websites and myspace and facebook. Facebook was okay, but this is sooooooo much cheaper and/or easier than all of those options and I don't feel so much like a teenager when I post something. I feel 24 or 25 at least! Anyway, welcome. Feel free to respond to this blog or others so that you can see how easy it is too.

Is blogging just grad school for myspace flunkies?
I'm new to blogging, and it may be something I outgrow in a week or two, but I admit being ADDHDTV or whatever. Fact is, last week I never would have seen myself blogging at all. It's so 21-29, and I'm so 31 (years old). Not that I'm against it. If it weren't for narcissism, nothing would get done at all, ever! I've been working at a high school in Aurora, Colorado, and when I resigned last month, all the kids tried to persuade me to make a myspace page so that they could keep in contact with me. I went to myspace for the first time, posted a picture, and immediately got bored. Then last week, out of the blue, a good friend of mine in her twenties pressured me to be one of her blogging buddies. (You can see her blogs at http://deebucket.blogspot.com/ for amusing wit, cute pictures of kids, and what not to do when interior designing.)
So the dilemma and the topic for this blog is:
Is creating a blog what you do when you're too good for myspace?
My marketing professor thinks blogging is a fad that becomes obsolete when you turn 29.
I have a healthy self-esteem. Just ask me, but I doubt that anyone wants to know my opinion on subjects ranging from the East coast bias in sports to the cultural bias in standardized testing. I may study those things, but what good does blogging do for those issues I care about?
Will you blog when you're 31?
