Father's Day 2011

I [M] started this blog for several reasons.  And, I am starting it today, Father's Day, for my husband [E] who has been dying to create it.  Although he has many ideas and is very verbal, the written word/typing does not come easy for him, so I will give it a jump start for us.

One: I always enjoy reading other peoples' blogs and have been envious of their ability to put themselves out there so visually in such a public manner.  However, when you think about it, you don't really know who reads your blog, if they read it at all, so maybe it is not as public as I might think.

Two, Edis [E] has a running dialogue on every motorcycle we see on the road.  I don't care two licks about any motorcycle, so I often say to him "Save it for your blog," mainly just to get him to be quiet.  But, he should have a blog, a place to say whatever comes to mind in relation to a motorcycle.  Maybe someone cares what he has to say about them, although that is not me.

Three, as an artist, I [M] would love to have a place to record and store all of the ideas and thoughts that I have for projects as opposed to several random pieces of scratch paper lying around.  Also, a visual catalog of what I have made would be helpful as well in order to determine if I am progressing or not.

Four, we, [M] and [E], have added two children to our family [A]mani and [C]rue.  Watching them change everyday, develop their personalities and become individuals has been amazing.  We need a place to record all of the things that say and do as well as store images of their growth and accomplishments so that we don't forget.  I am not good at keeping a baby book, so this is going to be our "baby book."

So, there are our reasons for beginning the M. A. C. E. blog.  I am sure that there are more reasons why will enjoy having this place of record in the future, but this is our start.  Happy Father's Day, [E].  I love you and can't imagine my life without you.
