| A Brief Introduction | Before
I began to BLOG, I would SPAM... The emails I sent out had the same
objective as my BLOG, little notes for the people I care about to "keep
in touch". Now they've become a record of my life at the time
they were written. My how things do change, and boy do they help
keep my memory in check regarding dates when things happened. Reading through all this crap makes me wonder... Is this worth saving? How much to I want to write about it now? Should I delete some of it? Probably not worth saving... Some of it has been deleted. I'm leaving some that if I think about it for more than a minute then it will stay. |

| The
Dunes and No Helmet July 12, 1997 |
This
isn't the "first" Ramble
I sent
but it is the oldest file I have in my backups. The motorcycle I was riding at the time was my 1979 Yamaha 1100 Special XS... This is also happened only a few months after I moved to Chicago... |

| The
10 Year Old Speeding Ticket August 8, 1997 |

frustrating moment that taught me a little patience afterwards and I
hope has a bit of humor... |

the Chebby November 11, 1997 |
There's
more than just junking my car in this Ramble. A bit of the
corporate consultant life I eventually quit is in this one and it marks
the begining of my involvement with Corn Productions... |

|
|

Music thang February 14, 1998 |
There's

put up on the web... |
