Hi ho, Hi ho, it’s off to…

September 24th, 2008

My wife and I are going to camp. Word Camp that is. Both of us started blogs at the same time and we both would like to learn more about how to use this software. I admit that I know only enough to place a piece of writing and a photo on my site. Other than that I can manage comments, of which I have been fortunate enough to have a few from friends and family, and that’s about it.

I have been sitting here drinking a glass of wonderful red wine from the Cote du Rhone region of southern France and eating a peanut butter sandwich while I check out some of the blog sites of the other campers who are going to Portland this weekend. Holy Cow. I’m not sure just what I’m getting into here.

All of these people have terrific looking blogs. I mean, video clips, terrific graphics and just plain professionalism. I got to tell you I am impressed. I feel a little like Jethro Bodine visiting a NASA space lab or something. These folks are way ahead of me. And if you don’t know who Jethro Bodine is than you’re just too damn young.

Even my wife’s site is pretty impressive, but she works hard at it. I wouldn’t have ever married her if she hadn’t been smart as well as good looking.

My real interest is in food and writing. I do want to learn more about using the Wordpress software, but ultimately I hope to use this site to practice writing and explore food ideas. It’s not that I don’t know anything about technology. We do live in Seattle and you know, we can see Bill Gates house from here. Did you know that? Gee, maybe I am qualified to go to Word Camp.

I’ll let everyone know how it works out and to any of my fellow campers out there, who I am lucky enough to run into, go easy on this old guy. OK?

You’ll know who I am when you see me. I’m the bearded, bald-headed, heavy-set gentleman who seems to be paying more attention the lunch and dinner they are providing rather than the program. And if that is not enough help, I drew a picture of myself with the wine and peanut butter sandwich. Looks like my next stop will be Art Camp.
