...a blog had to be written. Many things had to be said. I'm hoping some of you will read my humble blog and think, "That's exactly (or sort of) how I feel about such-and-such," or at least, "That's interesting." When you become middle-aged it's like reaching a landing on a zig-zagging stairway going up into the clouds. I'm on that landing, looking out below me at the panorama of my life so far. I'm reviewing what I did right, what I did wrong, what I didn't do that I wish I had done, or what I did that I shouldn't have. And oh my, there's a lot to see down there. As I told someone recently, I know I'm getting older because I have so many more memories than I used to--and I know I've forgotten a lot of things too. I have a friend who always says, "Pam, do you remember when we (fill in the blank)?" I always have to say, "Nope, I don't remember that." She's always a little disappointed when that happens. It makes me I wonder if I forgot whatever it was because it wasn't as important to me as it was to her.
Another reason for a blog now is because the election of 2008 is over, Obama won--we won--and I don't feel compelled to read every political blog and analyze every word by every Republican and get all hot and bothered by it. I have a lot more time now as a result. And so I blog!

Way to go Pam! I look forward to reading your insights (those that you remember). I like your opening, kind of "and on the fifth day, Pam said, 'let there be blog.'" Also, I couldn't help but notice that everything was properly punctuated and spelled correctly. You're off to a rollicking start! Keep it up.
