There's a first time for Everything

You may have heard of that new book "So, We Sold the House and Ran Away to the South Pacific". I think it is written by a Calgary couple. It conjours up visions of chucking it all and trying something new.

Well, for me to have my own "blog" is something like that. I didn't even really know what a blog was until Laurel patiently explained to me. So, here goes. I've always found that if you want to educate yourself on something, the best way is to immerse yourself and learn as you go.

Actually, that is not the best way to educate yourself. I once decided that I needed to know more about mortgage mutual funds, so I eagerly rushed right out into a rising interest market and bought some. Within a few short weeks, I learned that a rising market is NOT the best time to buy that stuff. I did, however, learn lots.

So, hopefully this thing will work out. I certainly have enjoyed reading about "snowflake" and her buddies, and must credit her example as an inspiration.

Now I just have to figure out how to let people know about this blog.....
