The family that bloggs together... learns a whole lot!

Here is yet another Blogging adventure. Since my blogs have no particular importance or significance to anyone but myself, the only people who actually read and comment on my blogs are my relatives. Yet, this tiny information sharing network has expanded into a much bigger world of family information. Point of fact, I have learned more about my two nephew-in-laws through reading a few pages than I have during all the years that they have been attached to the family. It's strange (if not a bit scary) to think that I share some of the same favorite movies with one nephew (minus some notable exceptions). Additionally its exciting to read extensive thoughts by the other nephew because I don't think he's ever talked to me more than three sentences in a row. I'm sure I'm just one of those aunts who has no appreciation of the socio-economical, philosophical, and political world wide impact when the SF Giants lose a game in the last inning.

By the way, why is it that I am the only one of my generation of this family to actually have a blog? Where are my sisters and brother? Are they letting me break new ground to see how big a fool I can make of myself before they jump in? Or are they just self assured enough not to have any need to see their own thoughts spread across the internet? Nonetheless, this blogging adventure, is just that.... an adventure.

Okay took you long enough to get back to this blogging thing, I had almost given up checking because I thought you had given up. Was going to give you a bad time on Thanksgiving. No, not enough time for a blog....lazy.....

Although I love reading and commenting, it is a strange fun filled typing experience.

People will find you out there in cyperspace, might just take a while. I believe that Kludge has a commentor from South America.

It's fun and great to see pictures, feels like we are a bit closer.

Think of it this way, Mom; you're a pioneer! To boldly go where no Brouse has gone before!

I love reading blogs! There is just something so interesting about getting to share in someones ideas and notions. It's even better when you wouldn't normally be able to hear from the person on a regular basis. It's like email with a bullhorn.

I take it my science fiction movies would be part of the notable exceptions. :)
