Once upon a time ...
Back in the day ...
In a previous life ...
However you want to say it I used to officially be a journalist. Made a little career change, but I still have a lot to say, whether anyone wants to hear it or not. And as I'm finding out, being a reporter (or, to the chagrin of my third-grader, an editor) something that stays in your blood probably until you're dead and gone. (This is currently an assumption on my part and not a theory I'm quite ready to test.)
I like to debate. I have a lot to say and I still want to write. Oh, and there's that competition thing -- whether it's running a race, playing Scrabble, or my opinion vs. yours. I've been meaning to do this for months and months, but freeplaysolitaire kept getting in the way. So I finally got off my ass and started this blog.
So when I have something to say -- whether or not a Big Brown triple crown should have an asterisk next to it, why college football in New England is a farce, how McCain, Clinton and Obama all make me want to move to Canada, career changes at age 40 or just things that make me laugh -- you'll find it here.
That is, when I can pull myself away from freeplaysolitaire.

About Me
- aliasmichelle
- I like those "Getting to Know Your Friends" questionnaires and variations thereof that ciruculate fairly regularly. They're a little goofy, but it's the reporter in me. I never met information I didn't like. Scratch that. I never met information I couldn't use. It took a while, but I have learned to use my powers for good, not evil. And after a recent career change, I missed writing with regularity. (As opposed to writing with irregularity, which makes it really uncomfortable to sit for any great length of time). So here I am. Whether or not you can use my information or want to read what I write remains to be seen. But I'm doing it. Which is more than a lot of people can say.

This is amazing. I'm so proud of you! I've always enjoyed reading your perspective. And it's not just what you write, it's how you write. It's your flowy uncluttered conversation that gives the distinct impression that you are right in front of me. Witty slants on serious topics with boomerang clinchers. Bravo!! Bravo!! Encore!! (But Canada? Seriously?)
Seeing as though this is the first piece of writing I've read of yours, if this is how you normally write count me in! I'm on board! Keep up the good work, and you may or may not have inspired me to start my own bloggings.
Young Mike :-)
