Welcome to the blogosphere

I just hung up the phone with a dear friend from home who was inspired by Local Townie and decided to start a blog of her own.  Cat (Kitty Cat as I call her) just moved from D.C. to South Florida with her fiance and has been going through the same process of trying to find her niche in a foreign land that I am in Lou.

I told her that she would LOVE blogging.  It is entertainment.  It is cathartic.  It is nostalgic.  It keeps me grounded.  I am always flattered when people tell me that they read what I write because I always thought I was blabbering sweet nothings to the world wide web.  But the blog actually keeps me connected in ways that everyday life would not otherwise afford.

Cat's first post in Changing Latitudes made me cry.  I've become a sap in my twenty-somethings.

Kevin and I are settling into our new life in tropical South Florida. The change in latitude has been good to us on many levels, but it's been hard to keep up with our family and friends that are spread around the continent: DC, New York, LA, San Francisco, North Carolina, Chicago, Baltimore, Montreal, Birmingham, Niagara Falls, Ottawa, New Hampshire, Vermont, British Columbia... and a very special friend in Kentucky who inspired me to start this blog. Becky and I ran track together in high school and when we, along with our friend Seshie, all went off to different colleges, we kept blogs to keep up with each other. Over time my blog writing trailed off but Becky has an awesome blog that helps me keep up with her no matter where she is in the world or what she's up to. As much as I love our new life in Florida, there are many people I would be very sad to lose touch with and this seemed like the best way to help with that. So, with Becky as my inspiration and New Year's resolutions as my impetus, welcome to my blog and thanks for reading.
