Lazy bum finally gets mojo

I've been thinking about getting this whole thing started for some time, as you can see from the dates of the previous posts, but it is only recently that it has actually come to fruition. Yeah, yeah, I know --- I'm a lazy bum. But things like this are honeydews, and I have no honey to motivate me to do what needs doing. Just further proof that it is not good for man to be alone.

But my life is good, and I'm not just quoting Nacho Libre. For those not in the know, I moved from upstate New York to South Carolina at the end of October 2006. New York had its good and its bad aspects, as do most places. I enjoyed being in that beautiful part of the country for a year and a half and soaking up some of the history. I didn't get to see all of it, which gives me an excuse to go back on occasion. There is so much to see and to do in the Northeast. And there are some very good people there.

And there is so much to see and to do in my new home. There were more Revolutionary War battles fought in South Carolina than in any other state, and I've already started to see some of them with plans to visit more. I've also been to a recreated Civil War battle, which was way cool. To see the way people once lived and to feel the heritage that has been left to us is very exciting to me.

I'll update this blog from time to time. Sending out a newsletter by email every six months was fine while the email list was small, but now I think that the blog option will make things easier for everyone. I can post a quick update whenever I want, and people can check in whenever they want, as often as they want, and not miss anything. I thought about some of those websites like Myspace or Facebook, but you have to join them just to view the updates on people, and I don't like the idea of forcing my friends to join something that they may not want to join, especially since I am not into joining those sorts of sites myself.

Keep an eye out for new updates. I've got lots going on. Between my writing, my work, my travels, and my plans to learn new skills (like horseback riding), I'll be sure to have lots to report. Hope all is well for all of you -- I wish you all the best!
