Welcome to my blog!

Hello and welcome to my new home on the internet! This is my feeble attempt to tear myself away from the abomination that we know as social media. It's not easy, but nothing worthwhile ever is and so here it goes.


If you are interested in what's going on in my life, you can find out about it here. If you're a casual acquaintance then I suspect you will just move on. Facebook, etc. calling mere acquaintances "friends" was an afront to friendship. We have all become so dependent on those insincere interactions that society has been falling apart. I was born before the World Wide Web was a thing, before VCRs, before answering machines. I was fully formed before web 1.0 and adapted when it became part of everyday life. I actually love technology, but since going through about fifteen years of this social media crap I've had enough. 

While I realize that it's not that easy to separate myself from social media (I mean, I teach in a communications department at a local college) I need to set some boundaries. This blog is my line in the sand.

Okay. I will probably be posting images and videos from my life here, so family members and friends who are dear to us can keep up. If you feel inspired, I will be happy to follow your own blogs or personal websites too. I am not going to allow comments, so that will cause me a whole other set of obligations. If you find something worth commenting on, please give me a call or stop by and we can have a coffee or a drink. If you know me you probably know my number and have my address. Let's have real interactions and talk, maybe even face-to-face (insert astonished look here) and maybe meet at a restaurant or cafe.

Will I post regularly? Yes, probably once a week, maybe even more than that. Hope to see (some of you, ha ha) soon.

Peace and all good!


- Chris
