Fifteen Years Ago Today....

 

And here's how Len Speaks innocently started on March 15, 2007.  And we're still here.  Wait.  It's not "we."  It's just me.  I'm talking like I have a staff.  

 Jell-o, this is Jack Benny speaking. 

Well, not really. But I am commencing a new chapter in my world. I have been intrigued by some of the personal blogs I have read from friends, people in the industry, etc.. I never really got into doing a daily journal, but this might be a good venue to start. 

I can muse everyday on whatever is on my mind. Hopefully, this will be a good way to stay connected with folks. And, this is an ideal offshoot of that Christmas newsletter I do---an annual device which has obviously been well-received, although I start it as a complete goof. 

It will take me a while to learn how to upload pictures and all those other do-hickeys on my computer. And I am sure that, at some point very early on, I will write a completely captivating entry only to lose it in cyberspace.  I will have to learn not to vent on anyone I know personally, as they could potentially read it and stop sending me Christmas cards.

Will this be a politically correct forum? I see no hands raised. That's good. It means you have been paying attention to me all these years. For instance, if I wanted to comment on "American Idol", you will not be surprised if I refer to that Sanjaya guy in terms that will signify his heritage from a God-forsaken country in this world where the flies are bigger than the meal on your plate.

By the way, I now understand how that kid is surviving from week-to-week when he sounds like Rose Kennedy doing a cabaret act in Vegas. All his calls have been outsourced. If he somehow goes the distance, I am guessing the first contract he will sign is with Dell Computers. And I am thinking he has tons of support in this country. Go into any Seven-11 when they open up the Idol phone lines and tell me if the counter help isn't on a cell phone at the time.

Voila......c'est le blog pour Thursday, March 15, 2007.

My very first blog entry and I spend half of it talking about a lousy American Idol contestant.  What was I thinking?  What were you thinking when you came back here for a second, third, or perhaps a thousandth time?

If you're in the latter, I thank you so much for making this a destination once a day.

And on we go....Year 16.

Dinner last night:  Leftover pasta.
