Let's not rush things

I'm not quite sure what the point of blogging is. From what I can tell, it's just whatever people decide to put into words to tuck away in the internet. I do know that the word "blog" is the lamest name you can give to something like this.

I guess I can ramble and it will count... I know some blogs that do that. I don't want to rush into this blogger - reader relationship though, so we need to start off slow folks. Take things easy, and not even think on the heavy stuff. Let's start this out like any friendship or acquaintanceship... and this a conversation. What is the most basic and simple conversation you can have?

I love 3 of the seasons in East Tennessee.

It's spring here right now, and not even an exotic garden on some lush estate can beat a drive on the back roads. Bradford Pears are in bloom everywhere, and last week they were all white and full of buds. Right now, they're starting to turn green along with everything else that still has life left in its stems.

I love the summer here more than any summer you could find anywhere else in the world. On a hot day, you can find a creek just about anywhere and sit by it all day. Time itself actually slows down. Porches should never remain empty, and the doors of the neighborhood are open to the summer air and the smell of cut grass.

The fall isn't as great as the warmer months, but I think it holds true everywhere that the leaves turning is the only autumn advantage. That's all I have to say about that.

Winter sucks ass.
We will never discuss winter ever again.

As of right now, and according to the Wii weather network; Knoxville is currently experiencing light rain and a temperature of about 64-65 degrees.

Olivia is currently experiencing lethargy and dread of a Spanish test in the morning. There is a 60% chance of finishing the 3 chapters she has to turn in before 9 P.M. and .05% chance she will care about the Spanish language after college.
