I'm trying this out!

So...  I thought I would finally join the technologic main stream and start a blog.  I have tried to decide if anything I might write would be at all interesting or useful to someone reading it.  I concluded that no, probably not.  However,  then I decided that,  so  what!  How many people actually blog in a completely altruistic and self-less state.  The vast majority of writing on the internet is purely self interested rhetoric, put out into cyber space in an attempt to either self-inflate or self-promote, or trash on others self promotion.  With that said, I am joining the self promoters  and trashers!

Recently returned from a great birthday trip with friends and family.   It was expensive, a lot of work but very fun!  Lake Powell is one of those places on Earth where you just have to stand there for a minute and go.... "wow."   There are few places that are so awe inspiring that you can't take it all in and I feel that I under appreciate this rare beauty.   Occasionally, I feel discouraged about the way this world runs and then, when I have an experience like I had recently at Lake Powell, I am refreshed and my faith in the world is renewed.  I can't imagine that a political speech or even a religious talk or speech could ever inspire me like a few hours appreciating the beauty of the natural environment!

Well...  I look back at what I have written and I can't find any profound information but, as they say in UTAH, "what the heck!"  I am doing it anyway!!
