I'm on and off about blogging. I read a few from friends and I do enjoy writing a bit and telling the occasional story, but I will let you know up front I may forget to write altogether.
Will this one take? I don't know. Time isn't really in great abundance for me. Two kids, a wife, the both of us working full time jobs, school, church,, etc. really takes away time from other activities. It ain't easy being a productive member of society.
I used to blog with the title Searching The South. It was about the weird out of the way stuff that I used to find on the road while geocaching. The problem is that I don't get to travel that much anymore (see the above reasons) and I no longer cache. Geocaching was great for ten years or so but the same thing happened that always happens for me, people.
People can be fantastic! But a lot of the time they aren't. As they say, familiarity breeds contempt and as you get to know people you find things out that you may or may not like about them. I wear my heart on my sleeve and I'm a fairly honest guy. I'll tell you exactly how I feel, that's in my instructions and if you don't read the manual first it isn't my fault. I'm honest about it up front when I meet folks.
So why The Walkin' Dad? First, thewalkingdad.blogspot.com was taken by a guy that never posted a danged thing to it after his first post. I was kinda bummed, but The Walkin' Dad is more southern. I'm good with that.
Secondly, I walk nearly five miles a day at work for the company I merchandise for. It's good exercise. Great for the legs, not so much the belly. But I'm an old fella and the fish is already in the boat so there's no need to bait the hook.
With this blog I think I can cover a wide variety of subjects from the weird to Washington, politics to perennials, and all sorts of other things. (I'm not into botany.)
My loves are reading, weird history and photography. Luckily, these blend quite well.
I hope I don't mess this one up and if I don't, thanks for the reading of it.
