Dear future followers, 

Welcome to the day-to-day happenings of my life.  Exciting, eh?  Really though, I feel like everyone around me has started a blog.  Most are about babies, and don't get me wrong, I looove babies.  However, I am going to approach this a little differently (because trying to be different is just what I do.  Heck, I have a bow-tie wearing dad.  We are RISKTAKERS.  Oh, and I don't have a baby.  Just a dog).  

I occasionally enjoy documenting what is going on around me, yet I can't see myself regularly updating this thing with witty content.  Therefore, I present you with my photo of the day.  Sometimes this will be a photo I have taken that day (trying to squeeze a little more life out of my ollld digital camera before I decide to upgrade to one of those fancy dancy ones), sometimes this photo may be a ridiculous piece of pop culture I found while procrastinating on the interwebs, and sometimes this photo will be taken from the archives.  Like today:

On November 4, 2008, I started the day by grabbing a cup of tea (Fiji, hot, in the biggest to-go cup) from the local coffee shop.  I wore my "Barack Obama is Good" shirt (plug for my employer, Storyville) and was energetic and excited all day as I watched people head to the polls and later gathered with friends to watch the election results come in.  The following picture showcases three of my favorite things: Halloween (in the form of pumpkin carving), Hope & Change (Obamakin.  Get it?), and Penny Lane (because who doesn't like a cute dog?)

Stay tuned readers.  Excitement is a'brewin'.
