Why Am I Blogging?


This is my first real blog.  I set up a previous blog to highlight some things that are happening in a church committee, but most of the postings are from others in the group.

My wife and I are going to take our first train trip in mid-May, and I thought it would be interesting to create posts on what happens on that trip.  We're traveling from Flagstaff, AZ, to Cincinnati, OH, and have decided to try the train rather than drive the 1850 miles or have to deal with the absurdities of air travel.  As I thought about blogging this adventure, I realized that there might be a lot of other things to share.  After all, I'm over 70 years old and have become aware of a lot of things!  I'm also a techie who has taught at a university for 20 years and continues to offer a couple of introductory computer courses as an adjunct, so some posts will be directed at computers, the Internet, etc.  I also like to sing, love good music and enjoy reading.

I bought a Kindle e-book reader a while ago and have read more books in the past few years than I probably did in many years before.  I'm cheap, so I am always looking for free or very inexpensive books.  Maybe I'll "talk" about some of the books and where I've found free ones.

So, this blog will be pretty eclectic.  I'm looking forward to sharing some of my thoughts with you and hope you enjoy at least some of them!
