Wow! It was way back in aught three that I started my blogging. Who knows what influence I might have by now if I'd kept it up. Oh well, other things were accomplished. What pulled me back into blogging was a new dad started posting comments about his experience leading up to fatherhood and now that his daughter -- my grand daughter -- has arrived he continues to comment on this exciting new experience. So, thanks, Bob & Cheri for Samantha and for rekindling my long dormant desire to Look Askance at the world and make comments about what I see.
