And so it begins ...

This wasn't going to happen. I was not going to blog. I have plenty of activity on my plate of life without adding another thing that can possibly go unfinished. But dang, everybody in my small but meaningful circle of friends wants to know why I don't have a forum of some sort--.

I work. I play. I eat. I watch documentaries. I enjoy arts and crafts. I read. I listen. I play poker. I walk my dog. (That's him in the photo, not me. Honest. I am not a dog.) Isn't that enough activity for one person to handle on a day-to-day basis?

But, I cave easily. And so it begins ...

To keep the updates germane, I've decided to write about my long habit of recycling ... turning Old Into New (thus the name of the blog, in case you were wondering). For now I plan to post photos and tales of some of the old stuff from my closet, the thrift shop, the side of the road and some that came from nobody knows ... If a project is under construction you will see a before and after. If it's already finished and on display, well, I guess I don't have to explain that....

Now that I started this venture, I think I'm going to like it ... I hope my buddies do too.
