Welcome!

Good morning and welcome to my blog! As the title suggests, this is going to be an experiment. I'm almost 40 years old (gah!) and I've hit a wall on what I think my life should be like. By almost any measure, I'm doing just fine. But sometimes, you just need to shake things up a bit. Starting now, there's gonna be a whole lotta shakin' goin' on.

If you must name what I'm doing, it's a mid life crisis through and through. I'm not the type to dump my family and chase after some twenty-something woman to make me feel younger. Fact is, I think of myself as more of a twenty-something most of the time anyway. Nope, I'm the kind of person that suddenly realizes there's got to be more to life than pushing papers across a desk for 8 hours a day. What that something is, on the other hand, is the mystery looking to be solved. For the first time in my life, I think I'm actually ready to try some new things and be willing to fail miserably at them.

This blog is going to be part of that. I'll chronicle my forays into new and wonderful things letting you know the good, the bad and the ugly. I'm also going to spout off from time to time, share stories of my family, and just try to find my writing voice. Join me if you wish. I can't guarantee it'll all be enjoyable or even interesting but it will be my struggle to decide who I am and who I want to be.
