A blogger in the making

We (wifeandkids.com and I) had lunch with Dad the other day. Having recently decided to ‘retire’ Dad was quite reflective about things and we got onto the subject of family, and of his parents (both sadly passed-on). During this conversation he mentioned off the cuff that he should capture some of his memories in a journal. My eldest daughter Madelyn — who like most 8 year olds, has ‘big ears’ — piped up and said with exuberance … “Grandpa, you should start a blog!” I nearly fell off my chair. I have briefly explained what a blog is to Maddy, but it’s amazing how she picked up on the thread of discussion and immediately put it into a blog context. Now there’s definitely a future blogger in the making.

This little episode got me thinking — althought this was not my original intention — amongst other things, a blog is a great way to diarise your life and keep a lasting record of your thoughts. It’ll sure be something to look back on!
