Brillant idea?


I’ve been trying to figure out what to write about in this blog.  The other day, while looking through a bunch of old files, I ran across a journal that I kept for a junior high writing class. I briefly though that it would be interesting to share some of the writing. But after reading some of the initial topics I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon.   I do plan to read through the notebook, but for the most part its rather embarrassing.   There might be a few good stories, since the course requirement was to write at least one page a day.   Even now I recall some of those pages as pure BS.  Lets just say that the struggle to be creative and inventive when you’re in 12 or 13 doesn’t inspire much in terms of deep thought. There are topics that would be interesting to pursue, but a lot of random teenage noise.

Crab Apple

The crab apple tree at my parent place bloomed like crazy this year. I grabbed this shot after driving back from a hat tournament in St. Louis a week or so ago. Weather was nice, overcast and misting, yeah for Spring!
