So, what's this all about?

Once upon a time, when I was just learning about computers, our instructor asked the class (only 4 of us) what we wanted to learn. I was just about to raise my hand, when he said, “No one needs to know about starting their own homepage, after all, what do YOU want to share with the rest of the world?”
What do we want to share? What do I want to share?
That was a good question. And 10 years later, I still ask it.
Why start a blog? Why talk to myself?
Wouldn’t it be nicer to be talking to someone else and carrying on a conversation?
Probably.
But sometimes, one can sort out a lot of thoughts by writing them down.
Then again, in Japan, there are more blogsites than anywhere else in the world.
Everyone seems to be sharing a bit about themselves — well not really themselves per se, as many of the blogsites are about FOOD!
“My Favorite Lunch” would be a choice title.
And you’d find someone had posted a picture of their lunch with a description of the yumminess.
Not sure what I’ll do today, but this is a start.
When I was a wee one and would start to ramble, Mama would always say, “Don’t mumble or jumble.” For the longest time, I thought she was saying “mumbo and jumbo,” and wondered what dancing and Dumbo’s mom had to do with my chattering.
Now I know.
It’ll be a good title for food for thought.
