Ron, when you comment, you have three options. You can use your Google/Blogger account if your have one, you can use some other account, or you can comment anonymously. Many people don't have a Google/Blogger account yet (you'll create one next week (Thing 3), so you can comment (as you did) by clicking the Anonymous radio button. That's fine!
The point is that your comment has been posted, we found it, and we can respond!
OK... I'm in...but will be "in" NY for most of the summer.
This is such an awesome idea that I’m willing to step off the boat or walk away from the lake for a few minutes to participate! See you all in blogger space!
I realize patience is a virtue, however, I couldn't wait for the next section (blogging) to post. So, I jumped ahead! I am amazed at how easy it is to use and addictive to the creative side of the brain! I just can't figure out how to link to this page, so it looks like I have to wait.
TYhat's okay, Scott. Quite a few folks have jumped ahead. That's great because it's fun to see what others have done (and written). As we move through these 23 Things, feel free to explore on your own. Just tell us what you discovered. Where? In your blog, of course!
For some reason my last post didn't post, so here goes again. I have posted my blog. I found out about Blogger through scrapbooking. I intend to use my blog to capture daily details so when I go back to scrap them, I will remember. My son starts highschool next year and I want to remember the details of his years there. I look forward to learning and using the 7 1/2 habit which is to Play!!
This is the second attempt to post the URL for my blog. Here it is.
