getting started

I'm not sure how to get started. I've noticed that I seemed to be in an explosion of comunication lately. My son, Jeremy, is on his first tour of duty in Iraq and to communicate with him I opened a myspace, so that I can im with him. Then came face book and I found a high school classmate, that was cool. Now I am taking the plunge to begin my blog. I have been wanting to do this for a couple of years but I hesitated because ...of fear, what else. So here goes. Yes.
