One toe in the water

Well, here goes . . . probably nothing.

Nope. Not one ripple . . . (sigh)

As an educator, I have been telling others the importance of journaling for years now, so I guess it's time I followed my own advice and started keeping track of the everyday mundane events in my own life. (Brace yourself. Things could get boring very quickly!)

Truth be told, the impetus for this little cyberdiary was an email I got from a colleague telling me -- and several thousand others on a listserv -- that she was launching her own blog to keep track of books she read during the year. I thought to myself, "Hmph. Now why didn't I think of that?" Actually, I did think of doing something along these lines a couple of years ago, but I just never took the time to sit down and make of list of the titles that had passed through my hands. Oh, I had kept lists when I was a kid (books read, movies seen, states visited, concerts attended, etc.) but not as an adult. Perhaps it's time to start compiling an inventory of these things once again. I mean, what if I came down with early onset Alzheimer's or something? At least I could open up the ol' blog and see what I'd been thinking (or reading) the day before. As long as I could remember by login and password anyway...

Alright, DK. I accept your challenge. Game on! (Er...uh...blog on!)

Whatever.
