Interference

Memorial Day was finally here. The unofficial start of summer always puts a smile on my face and this one would be no exception. Chloe and Greg were having a cookout. This was especially great since they just lived around the corner and Emilio and I could just walk there.

I was bringing my world-famous brownies although I knew most of the girls there wouldn't even touch them for fear of gaining weight. I was ready for an evening of food, fun and, eventually, fireworks, though these wouldn't be the normal kind that light up the sky.

Just as Memorial Day melts away the memories of cold winter nights and dewey spring mornings, leading to new beginnings and possibilities, this particular day would mark the beginning of a whole new world for Chloe.

Introduction

Today is my first blog post on my newly created blog. I have been meaning to do this for a long time, but just never got around to it. I finally decided, "Today is the day."


As with most bloggers I have been talking to, they say: just start the blog. Don't worry about your audience or what you're going to write. The rest will fall into place.


So, expect to see a lot of random thoughts on here. I am going to attempt to write a book about the affairs of a few of my neighbors using this medium. While it will be based on a true story, I will be embellishing a few details to protect the innocent.


I'll probably write about a few books I am reading, some events that take place in my life and about upcoming events at work--National Museum of the U.S. Air Force.


I hope you enjoy following me!
