Hello Blogospherians!

After a hiatus of several years, I'm returning to the blogosphere. Oh hallelujah. Happy days are here again. My previous blog, For the Love of Pete, was a wacky collection of rants and stories with absolutely no direction whatsoever. There were some moments of brilliance, but you had to really dig through the muck to get there. But oh how I've matured over the last few years. I write better, eat better, think more creatively, sleep more soundly, and live with more passion. How that translates to a more entertaining blog? I don't have a clue.

I do know this much; this blog is different. I'm not sure how exactly because it's an organic thing and will create it's own life. In my former blog I posted long meandering internal ravings from my melon, stream of consciousness babbling that was entertaining only if your were feverish and hopped up on Cough Syrup. No more of that. Well, maybe a little.

It's scary actually. All of the possibilities throughout the universe are swirling around this blog, and I just have to reach up and grab a topic and regurgitate it through my fingers and onto the keyboard and onto the screen where letters become words and words become paragraphs and paragraphs turn into profound nuggets of truth and profound nuggets of truth turn into unforgettable stories and unforgettable stories turn into...STOP!

Even though silly rambles, like the one above, seem to ooze unsuspectingly out of my pores every so often, I am determined not to do that in this blog. I can't promise anything, but, you know, um, there you go. No alarms and no surprises, that's all I can promise (what band am I referencing here?).

Here's the real dope. This blog will concentrate on thoughts of writing, storytelling, and creativity. It will also feature memorable moments of my venture into parenthood and life in general. There are LOTS of things happening. Big changes. For one, my wife Kate is due with our first child any day now. So stay tuned.

Thanks for reading. I promise this will be an entertaining venture into the blogosphere for you. Happy Days are here again!
