I'm back!!

Ok, so credit (or blame) TIME Magazine for this one. I just finished reading the Dec 25, '06-Jan 1, '07 edition. The "Person of the Year" edition. Well, it just so happens that the person of the year (according to TIME) is ME! (and you, and you, and you). It also just happens that most of the articles covered therein have to do with the new Web, you know Web 2.0 and all the frills that come with it. Basically, it's talking about how everyone has a blog or reads them or posts to forums etc. The whole idea being that the internet is becoming a more consumer driven media rather than corporate driven (although, that hasn't stopped them from trying to cash in!).

After reading this, I remembered way back, about a year ago, I 'started' a blog and sure enough, it still exists. It's starving, but still breathing which brings me back to present. I started the blog to stay in touch with family and friends. To let them know how and where we were and what we were doing and to, in some way, be a part of our story. Back in the old JB Hunt days, we had plenty of time to sightsee. We've seen a submarine in Little Rock, AR; 'flying' fish in Pike's Place Market in Seattle; German Village in Columbus, OH; an amazing World Market in Cleveland and dozens of other places. Now, working for Quest, we barely have time to eat! We stay at the house until the very last minute then rush as fast as we can until we get back to our warm, roomy, comfortable, everlovin' home. "It's a livin'", as they say, but it sure doesn't leave a lot of time to blog! I know that's no excuse, but as I said....I'm back!

TIME has inspired me to be more on top of my blogging. I mean really! I'm online at least once a day anyway, why not just jot down a few lines. How hard can it be? Who knows, maybe somebody will even read them.
