Why blog?

I was asked the other day why I have a blog web site? I will try to explain.

It started out as a way to communicate to friends, how our life was going in Canada without an email to each person who asked. If they are interested they just check the blog.
Now I only email asking how their life is going.

It is like a diary for me. A record of our experiences and thoughts. Sure, most of it is boring because it is just day to day stuff. I'm no "Writer" so I'm sure anyone with some degree would laugh at my grammar and maybe spelling since spell check doesn't always work.

The nice part is the positive comments we receive to keep it up which tells me someone is interested. Of course, if you are not interested you wouldn't check would you. Common sense.

Just my way of staying in touch without touching. Or as Kirk puts it "bugging someone".
