Well, actually it was one year ago today.
One year ago today I wrote my first blog. I've attached it to the bottom of this post..for old times sake.
63 posts...that's more than one a week. That's more times than I've vacuumed the house in the last year, For reals.
I've had a few decent blogs...two of my favorites were both two parters (and since I've never been shy about shameless self promotion) I'll share them with you now. In case you missed them the first time, enjoy. If you've already read them, treat it like a library book, and take it out again.
First, my day with Christopher Walken

and part two...

Then there was the infamous hold up story...another two parter

and this

and for good measure, maybe the one about my good friend Stephen King and the Boston Red Sox (who are currently not my good friends)

So that's it, a bit of rehashing, which, come to think of it has been a fairly common thread through most of these.
Anyone want to lay odds on me making it to September 15 2013?
The smart money is on probably not.
Almost forgot....here's my post from one year ago.....

Going to give this a go.
Nobody has ever said to me, "why don't you write a blog?" I never even considered it until my lovely wife asked me last night, "What's that song that goes - I really love your peaches want to shake your tree?" After my quick answer (music trivia has always been a personal strength - some folks can build things, I can tell you Badfingers top three hits). When I got to the pompatus of love line I thought to myself, "now that's a great word and doesn't get nearly the play it deserves", hence, this ridiculous endeavour on my part. That's how my brain works. Maybe at some point I'll actually bother to learn how to create a layout beyond the kindergarten level that is this first crack. So it goes.
Don't know what to expect, how often I'll post, or if I'll have anything interesting to share. A few things I do know...this will suck for awhile...I expect nothing beyond rank amateurism for quite some time..probably won't land on a theme or style (other than the parentheses and dot dot dot...that I obviously use as my fall back punctuation).
Sure there will be the occasional flash of genius - like the awesomeness of the name of my blog- but more often than not it will be the meandering and noodling style that I'm currently employing, but all things considered...who doesn't love to meander and noodle once in awhile.
Speaking of noodles, here's what Mr. Noodle does with a banana...

(the sole reason for that was to see if I could execute a link)
Anyway, don't know how to share this...if anyone would read it anyway...or if this is my first and last.
