This is how it happened.
Little obscure tidbits of information have always fascinated me. I am one of those people who often can't remember how to do basic computations, yet unusual little facts will fix themselves firmly in my memory. Of course, I shared my findings with my boys.
When they were small, my little sons seemed interested in my offerings. At some point however, this habit began to elicit more guffaws than attention. This did not stop me from alerting my men when something of 'importance' caught my eye.
By the time the boys were in their teens, they were quite sure that they had simply passed me by, and that I no longer had much to teach them. Usually then, whenever I would attempt to inform them of some wonderful piece of information, someone would laughingly say; "Mom's on the alert."
Each in turn, the boys went off to college. I began the habit of sending them articles I had clipped from the newspaper which I thought would be of particular interest to either Mike or Matt.
Mike came home to LA after college, but Matt moved to DC after graduate school. Now, I could just call Mike and suggest he look at the article in that day's LA Times. However, I continued clipping articles and sending them to Matt. Then the boys started blogging.
One day, I mentioned to Mike that it might be fun to have a blog of my own. That is all it took. Mike started to press me to choose a name for my blog. I could not think of one. Mike kept asking.
One day, as I was clipping yet one more 'fascinating article' for Matt, I wondered if he would really read it. Then I remembered the levity that this habit used to engender and I started to laugh. I called Mike at work to tell him I had thought of a name.
He called back a little later to let me know that my blog was now on the internet. A short time after that Matt came home for a visit and did the design.
Of course, I still don't know what I'm doing, but I've got good boys.
