Intro thoughts

Yep...new here. It's about time I got back into some kind of publishing again. I toyed with it a bit in journalism at Minot State University (Minot State College then) in 1973-74 in Minot, North Dakota. I was the Editor of a small college newspaper called the Red and Green...pretty cool name, eh? Right. Anyway, I was selected for the editing slot by an ailing journalism prof who died the summer before I started...not an advantage, to say the least...for either of us. It was great fun doing the paper thing, but professionalism wasn't our forte, to be sure. It was the early 70s and freedom meant license, if you know what I mean. It is said that it is the youth that swim in Liberalism and the old in Conservatism...guilty on both counts...not totally, but true enough.

This little village could use a news center...maybe this blog could be a start. It has a quaint little paper, but it is traditional format stuff and this blogging seems to be a way for others to have a more active furum through which to talk...sortof a "round the pot-bellied stove" sorta thing. we'll see. I started a disciplined exercise regimen once too!
