On WordPress

This is it.  I’ve moved over (thanks to my service provider).  Now I just need to clean up a few things and see how it goes. 

It’s a start.

Blogging

This afternoon I headed to a suggested blog. The blog had a review of a book I have read. The review had been suggested by an email.

A lot of good insight on this blog. So I took a look at some of the other entries. Again, a site to consider.

Interestingly, there have been no comments on this blog. I’ve wondered how we rate blogs. I’m inclined to say that the more comments, the better the blog.

In this case, the content seems good. But perhaps the reading of this blog is what I see with my blog. I have a few faithful readers who comment by other means (phone, email, visits). I have not designed my blog to address a national or international issue. Rather, it is here to keep people updated on my life. Every once in a while I hit on a “hot button” issue and a few more people drop by to visit the site. After that spike, the usage returns to normal. Who knows, after I get WordPress up and running, maybe a few more will drop in for a while. But if my dad reads this, or my siblings, or some close friends, I’m glad.

Feel free to comment (might even boost my exposure — if not my self-esteem!!).

A sad day!

Today, I turned down eating two full meals.  Both were great food, well presented, and paid for by someone else.

But as the meals progressed, I couldn’t eat full helpings.  And that’s not a bad thing.  My weight could be slightly less (although I have settled on an acceptable weight — less weight means less stress on my new knees).  My stomach was also saying it didn’t need to pile up a lot of food at any one time today.

So, here I am.  Eating a few almonds as I finish the day.  I’ll have a drink (probably of tea).  Then it’s off to bed.  I’v been reading a novel, and have skipped to the final chapter — which I’ve now finished.  So, as my head hits the pillow, I’m planning for immediate sleep.  With the early rising of the sun, I expect I’ll be up around 6:00 tomorrow — and I should be well refreshed, looking forward to tomorrow.

A Ladies’ man!

That’s what I guess I would be called.

Tonight I was the sound “man” at a ladies’ dessert night.  Not another man in sight.  Not one. 

I was asked if I felt outnumbered. 

I noticed when I laughed I was the only one with a deep voice.  And when I looked at the dessert’s they were all small pieces — compared to what I would usually take.

The evening was encouraging.  Some of our young ladies are off on a missions trip and they sponsored the evening.  Good stuff!!
