It’s been quoted often, “The best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry,” from the famous poem by Robert Burns – it says what I feel very well. I just haven’t gotten my act together with posting on this new blog. A blog is a kind of art and craft in itself. This one is overdue for getting articles written and topics posted – I apologize for that.

It’s not like I can use the excuse, “the dog ate my blog.”  It’s more likely that I was actually busy doing some four-letter-word activity.  Hey…I meant this four-letter-word: WORK. Then of course I might have been enjoying a book or playing the guitar. I promise I will try to put those activities down in order to communicate via the internet with the world at large from time to time.

I am excited about this new blog – I want to discuss and explore many areas of the arts (music, painting) and crafts (paper crafts, scrapbooking, digital photo editing – which could be an art or a craft), and may others. So, to try to get over the procrastination, interruptions, attention deficits, the holidays, working, playing, and other reasons for not getting this website off the ground, I wrote this first posting. I’ll end here with another famous quote….”I’ll be back.”
