Off and running

Whew. I am so glad to have gotten that first posting out of the way. The inagural blog posting can't just get us off to a limping start. It has to make some kind of a Statement: "This Will Be A Great Blog So Read It Often And Even Better Bookmark This Page!"

Really, I could have just said that in the first place and saved us all the blather about blog history. Well, it is what it is. I aspired to begin with some kind of a Beginning. It's like the gunshot at the beginning of a race. If a guy just shouted "Go," it wouldn't have quite the same momentum. People would wander past the starting line like a bunch of wayward sheep, stopping to nibble at grass along the way. But BANG, and we're off and running into those five kilometers as if the devil himself is chasing us with a pitchfork.

Anyway, I do have something useful to offer to those of you traveling folks. Yesterday, WCCO-TV did an interesting report on how to find cheap airfares. These aren't your typical I've-already-heard-that-before-why-are-you-wasting-my-time tips: They seem to hold the promise of saving a few bucks. Or at least being smarter about airline ticket shopping online. You can check out the story here:

That's it, off to work on a rainy day.

I'm passing on the airline ticket tips. They seem to be pretty good. Thanks! Have fun with your "blogging." By the way, the "Aunts" are now going to have fun reading your blogs. Thanks for sharing Jamie. --Renee
