I enjoy hearing about what everyone is doing. I know I am new here and often feel I don't have much to offer as there is really not much excitmement here in Springfield! I have connected with some old friends which is very nice. I just hope I don't bore people with what I write. Hopefully, everyone will continue to share their messages. Happy Thoughts.

So you know, this blog I am writing is not real light weight. We write lots of blogs that are and this one is not. I think it takes a kind of art and candor to write blogs that are engaging but not too much in terms of becoming over-exposed as the private people that we are. This is what I see when I look at our class of 72 bloggers. It is my statisitical analysis. Everyone that has written anything has been honest and great to hear from. The ones that have stayed tied in have a sense of life that is clear. If I had to define that, I would say that it is people that have an equal sense for the importance of pricacy and the awareness that privacy does not buy you much. It has been people that need a reference for where they are right now. In my case, I have needed about 10 reference points for where I am because I spend so much time being clueless about what and who I am. For this reason, I am the ideal blogger- the guy that totally appreciates hearing from old friends and classmates. We are so well trained to believe that we are a little too much "this" or a little too much "that". I know that I am "too much", but I figure that you guys know that too and that is where i like to jump in and tell you about what I am doing in "too-much" land. I don't know if you guys are going to keep blogging. Things have cooled down. In case you don't write again, I will tell you what has been precious to me. I feel like everyone, and particularly the ones that have blogged lately are beautiful people. It is a choice that we all have- to be beautiful. Thanks for the chance to be beautiful!
