Prologue

Welcome to my online journal.

What you’ll find here is usually a running commentary of my life. It’s mostly my observations about what is happening around me, as well as rants, ravings, and other minutiae. My moods tend to run the gamut from sarcasm to humor to anger to depression.

You may find that it’s a bit frank and open. If you do, then I’ve succeeded in my goal of being, well, me.

My main reason for doing this is to give my family and my child (or any future children) an understanding of who I am. Maybe that sounds strange, but don’t we all want to understand our parents and family members a little bit better? I sure did.

This site also serves as a platform for me to keep my family updated in regards to my wife (Cheryl) and my daughter (Emma) as well as a way for me to write short fiction and other stories. Occasionally you’ll find links to various photo albums that I post here to let the family in on how we’re all doing. All in all, I’ve been making entries off and on for several years now. Only within the last year did I set up this site and put my journal online.

One day you may find a rant, the next a work of fiction, the day after that a new photo album. I try to keep it somewhat varied and unpredictable.

So, if you feel like reading about or learning about me and my family, feel free to carry on. Just because you’re not family doesn’t mean you aren’t welcome. Otherwise, thanks for stopping by.

Thanks,
Chris
