This morning I got up and made my coffee...poured me a cup and sat down at the computer as I have done for so long. Mornings are my favorite part of the day and the only time things are slow and quite. I scrolled down to my favorite journals and the first one I read every day is Rick's http://rickpaulettervjournal.blogspot.com/ blog.
Rick had some good information on the length of a post that I think many bloggers out there should read. I am not one for long lengthy blogs that go on about more than one topic or that cover several weeks of the past. I like to read about different peoples take on life itself. It can be religion politics I don't care as long as they deliver their beliefs across in a concise manner and don't waffle as many politicians do.
Now on the other hand I don't really blog too much. I have got on a roll about certain things that have pushed me over the edge but I try to steer away from those topics due to what this Journal is all about.
I write these entries most every morning so that somewhere in time my children or my children's children can read about my last years after I retired.
I don't really know whether or not they will ever be interested but just in case they are they will have these post in my journal to go back and see what type of a guy I was.
I have always thought how cool it would have been to have had a journal from my great great grand father who fought in the Civil War. I know he was an office and later in life became a Dean at a college in Texas. That is all I know about him and could probably put together some things to enlighten me on his life...but to have a journal written by him telling me what he did that day and what his thoughts were...How priceless would that be!
OK I have gone on long enough about this.
For my family who might be reading this one day I just want you to know what was going on in my life and where Sherri and I were headed. I might even get to know you personally but if not maybe you can know me better by what I write about here...

Very true words Joe. Many posts I have read lose sight of the fact that this is a personal post and they are not obligated to entertain the masses every day.
I also agree with both you and Rick Doyle that some post are always extended works of detail that you must get up and walk around because that amount of detail starts to put you to sleep. The worst are when someone has not posted for a few weeks and then tries to catchup with very detailed info, instead of a briefing the events that took place.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
We are glad we got to know you through your posts and then in real life so keep up the writing. To tell the truth I am not sure any of my kids have ever read my blog.
You mean my ancestors might someday read my blog? EEEgads! I'd better get with it and make myself sound smarter!
Rick, you "ancestors" will be hard pressed to read anything. They're dead.
Now, you descendants on the other hand? That's a different story.
Good post! My kids do occasionally read my posts but I know my brother and sisters read it regularly. And Russ and I go back and re-read when we are trying to remember where or when we did a certain something!!
