I have no idea what shape or form this blog will take, other than to share bits and pieces of thoughts and experiences.<br />
<br />
Let me introduce myself to you using the About Me, a-z method I've seen others use.<br />
<br />
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">{a} Age - In calendar years 47. In my head somewhere around 27.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">{b} Bed size - Queen. Same as my pantyhose. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">{c} Chore you hate - All of them. But I hate a dirty house even more.<i><br />
</i></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">{d} Dogs - A few great dogs through the years. Currently we have an old male and young female. In May we took them to a doggie birthday party.<br />
<br />
