The one thing I never heard people say to me:

     "You should blog less."  I have been blogging for three years on another site.  I've developed a following and established a cadence in my blog.  That's all well and fine,  but I'm about to enter the sixth decade of my existence on this earth and I do not want be confined to the expected anymore.  Of course that does not mean I will abandon my "voice", it merely means I wish to exercise the option of ...well, I don't know what yet.  I'm sure I'll find out right along with you.  

     So what can you expect here?  For one thing my sense of humor,  my element of sarcasm.   They are a finely honed resource that shine through life's stomping down tendencies.  Yeah for me!  Yes, when I said the glass is generally half full I mean it.  Of course it depends on how clear the glass is,  whether or not the mineral deposits of everyday life built up...but hey, think of me as a  human stalagmite.  

     There are a cast of characters who remain constant in my life, and through me I'm sure you'll get to know them all.  Here is a mini-guide, or introduction:

1.  Hubby - my wonderful husband of almost 25 years.  (And I mean it!)

2.  Mikey - my only child, now a 40 year old man-child-bachelor  living at home, with my gratitude.

3.  Frasier - our sweet Maltese with a very big mouth.

4.  Niles - our cat/dog, the very adorable, short bussed Shih-Tsu.

5.  Cesar - our Chef.  The hapless, but necessary helper.

  These are the intimate members of the family that I speak of frequently  (though you are bound to hear of others) whom I shall introduce as I include them in this virtual world, my view from up here.
