Welcome to another blog

Since having a family and a job with more responsibility, time to catch up with friends is infrequent. There are so many topics I want to discuss with people, but never get the opportunity. I'm hoping this blog will be a way to get my thoughts and ideas out there, where my friends, and maybe others, can read them. Even if they are ignored, I'll at least have them out my mind and recorded.
