Eso? Terric! (go back »)

So here we go....sometime in the morning. That name just came to me--but is such a perfect descriptor for what this journal (I will not go near the whole 'blog' thing) is intended to capture. I realized that technology, or my lack of 'skillz' on the Mac, was keeping me from writing. Unlike many, I have the content--I just did not have the understanding of how to work all these silly sites that promise ease of use--and yet sidle somewhere between the time clock on the VHS and my Amtrak points number--both of which need some dusting off. Okay, so here is the premise. I am a VERY happily married man, with a new son. And on Saturdays I get up on the early shift to feed Braden. And I never can quite go back to sleep. So I thought, maybe it would be a good time to just write down my thoughts, prose, stolen material and whatever words were dripping through my head. This is really just for me. If you somehow happen upon it, here are some rules: 1) I don't want to write the next great amercian novel. I left that back with the intro of Holden. How do you describe the smell of the ocean on the first day of summer? And if you can, why would you try and re-create it. Holden will remain. 2) I don't use spell check when writing 'sometimeinthemorning'. Period. Literally. 3) All references to my friends and family are true. Please feel free to get litigious. Most of my lawyer friends are the most selfless people you will ever meet. They all went the way of 'the people'.....I would be more apt to sick an interior designer on you. 4) I am, despite known fact, 2 years older than my brother Peter--but was raised as the younger brother, due to IQ testing that was highly prevelant in our township. Okay--so there are the misgivings. Lets go!
