First Blog (aka "ashamed")

So I'm not even really sure how this works. This is my first posting to my first blog...and I'm ashamed. I'm not even sure what the draw to doing this is...but I've started to enjoy reading the blogs of my family (thanks meg) and like that I feel somehow connected to people that I can't see and talk to as often as I'd like. So here goes. My first attempt. We'll see how it goes.
