My first blog.


I am trying this blogging due to a few nudges into this direction. I love writing and creating and sharing knowledge, so it seems to be a good place to be. I haven't a clue who will find this of any interest...
But in all the writing that I've done, it seems to be most rewarding to my growth...to actually put the words down. I actually have a difficult time with manual writing. It almost takes too long to get the words down as quick as my thoughts happen.
Something that I'd like to share is one of my most recent adventures in the Milwaukee area...there was a tomato celebration thing on North avenue. It was the second annual and I really wanted to get pictures of the tomato romp...where people actually throw over-ripe tomatoes at each other. It didn't sound like something I really wanted to experience myself...but to capture it in pictures...
Unfortunately, I realized on the car chase to get there in time, that I didn't have batteries in my camera. The trip to Walgreens took too long and by the time that I got on the scene...what I actually photographed was the after effects.
I also bought some great vegetables from the farmer's market nearby, stopped for a beer and met a lovely lady whom I is now added to my facebook, and generally felt more connected to my community. Good stuff.
