Oh my god. He's doing a blog...

I've often been compared to my mother, a woman with a lot to say, regardless of whether or not you really want to hear it. Do I, like my mother have a lot to say? Yeah, sure. Do you really want to hear what I have to save? Probably not. That's the beauty of a blog; you can read it, or you can turn the page.

Writing is a skill I've tried to develop over the years as an advertising guy. As a freelancer, it was always easier and faster for me to write the ads I designed, instead of hiring a real copywriter. I learned much from two writers from my past – Mike Jablonski, rest his soul, my long-time partner at DMB&B, and Bob Killian, a previous employer who I never formally thanked for all he taught me (if you're reading this Bob, consider it the formal "thanks").

My life is reasonably interesting. I have a home-based design business, which gives me plenty of time to worry about money and yell at my kids. I coach their baseball and softball teams, an annual source of good material to scream about. Stay tuned for the sports stories.

Jenny and I go to a favorite Mexican restaurant on Friday nights where we've met some very interesting people. More fodder for blogging. We're surrounded by some of the most notably insane friends and family anyone could hope to burden themselves with, offering a bit more for the old blog spot.

I'll try to make it, at the very least, mildly humorous, so anyone reading can get a laugh and feel a sense of relief that they aren't me.

Don't go away. This might get interesting...
