And so it began...

For months now, people have told me I should start a blog. I know. It is all the rage. But I am a simple man. Pretty quiet really. I have deep thoughts from time-to-time; however, who cares, we all have our opinions. Each has value. Mine are mostly private, with a few entertaining slips of the tongue here and there–nothing that will save the world. I'll leave that to Al Gore and his mistress.

And so, here it is– my blog.

Over time I will share some thoughts about things that are real to me. I'm a dad. Got two boys. They are the fuel that feeds my passion. We have a blast. I'm not their friend, I'm their dad so I take that very seriously. My single-minded purpose is to raise good men. We'll be friends when they get older. For now, they need to make their beds and take out the trash.

I like a lot of things. I pay attention. I enjoy a good laugh, a cold beer and a smooth cigar. Life isn't that complicated to me. I don't make mountains out of molehills. Doing right by others and remembering what my parents taught me has served me well. I'll keep doing that until the evidence proves a better way.

So thanks for coming along. Have a good time and let's keep it simple.
