Welcome and "Why are we here?"

Welcome to my new little corner of the web.

I guess that I finally gave in and joined the latest Internet craze. Which is funny, when you think about it. I mean, I work with computers for too many hours a day, and I've worked on a number of Internet technology projects through the years. So, I have to ask why I've decided to spend even more time on this Interweb thingy.

Well, I can tell you what this won't be about. There will be no mention of the work that I do. OK, maybe I need to amend that, my work won't be a focus of this blog. I may mention work, but only as it relates to the real subjects of this blog. Work is something that I do to pay for the two big pursuits in my life at the moment: golf and skiing. Living in Colorado, I have the opportunity to indulge in both, sometimes together. Well, not exactly together (because I would look silly trying to ski around a golf course, or trying to chase a golf ball down a ski slope), but during the same time of the year.

So, there you have it. This will be my online diary of golf and skiing adventures and thoughts. Some of them will be inane, some will be thought provoking (probably thoughts along the lines of "what were you thinking") and some will be (hopefully) interesting. I might add a few other little insights, but I'm hoping to keep this mainly on-topic. Oh, there probably will be pictures, scans and links. Look them over and let me know what you think.

Now you know why I'm here, but I don't know why you are. Only you can answer that question, but I would like to know why you are. I'll leave this open to comments, so maybe you can let me know. I hope to follow along with me on this journey. Who knows how long it will last, and where it will go. It could be an interesting ride.

Please feel free to comment on the things that you see, but please make them constructive. I know that I suck at both sports, and if that's all you've got to say, my response will probably be along the lines of "thanks for the info - next."
