The Birth of A Blog

My brother is one of my best advisers, friends and overall influences. If you don't know him, his name is Oren and he is currently in Jerusalem with his wife Suzanne, an almost equally valuable friend of mine.

The two of them have started an interesting blog about the adventures in Israel. I recommend it, it is an interesting read and most recently has featured picture of their cute dog, Choomy.

The two of them have also told me over and over that I should start a blog and continue blogging. If that wasn't enough, my sister, Karen in California has also stumbled across my old blog and given me some exaggerated compliments on my writing and expressed interest in seeing me continue in this endeavor of blogging. Sadly she doesn't have a blog for me to share, but don't fear, I will put up a picture of her cute daughter, my niece, Maya!

Ok, I guess I will wrap up this Minc family tree lesson and sum this up: the public has spoken and I thought it could be fun to rekindle the writing fires. So here goes nothing, the new blog is born!

As I have in past blogging attempts, I will avoid recapping any mundane details of my life, but will fill everyone in on anything interesting, funny or what I think my pass as though provoking. This is a practice in thinking, expression, columnist-style writing and broadcast blogging journalism. As such, I hope to occasionally receive feedback, comments and I invite disagreement, discussion and your own thought provoking responses to my ideas.

Here goes nothing... let the blogging commence!
