The End

This blog is officially at an end.

The reason it was put together was basically to collect my thoughts as they popped up for later compilation.  I’ve officially drawn a line on this time period and am in the middle of fleshing these little treatises out and compiling into book form.  So I don’t anticipate posting to this blog further, at least for the time being.

Since the beginning of this project, I’ve found some better ways of keeping my ideas together, so I don’t anticipate using this for further works.

Thanks to all who have read and commented.

 

Welcome/What is This?

Hi. Thanks for stopping by.

When my own father passed from this life, I spent a lot of time thinking about the things unsaid. All the thoughts and dreams I had that remained private; that I never considered important, weighty or timely enough to share. I wondered if he had the same sort of things to pass on that for some reason or not just “never came up”.

I don’t want that situation with my own children. There’s a lot of experience, lessons learned and painfully pointed advice I want to pass along as a father. And thus this blog. I want to use this to jot down those observations and stories to compile later for them.

I’m doing it in blog format for a couple of reasons. Primarily, because putting it out there for others to read is a gentle prod for me not to neglect the task. And secondly, because the commenting functions allow for other people to chip in their .02. To call me on the carpet when they think I’m wrong and to kudo the positive. Validate or invalidate my advice.

So join me, if you will. Check in regularly and add a comment or two. Be an iGodparent without the pressure for graduation presents or the promise of a job after school.
