One Week Later

I guess blogging is a discipline. I have discipline somewhere in my blood but comes and goes as it wishes.

About a week ago, without my girl, I decided to hit a St. Paul Saints game. I took a gamble on a promotion they were having but it paid off! As we have all heard, Michael Vick ran into some trouble with the law. It seems that pit bulls were his downfall, hosting dog fighting on his property, killing dogs and gambling on them. Big mistake. So, the St. Paul Saints, an independent minor league team and it's owner Mr. Veeck took advantage of him by putting out a dog chew toy with his name and number on the back of a pig. (Saints mascot) I didn't care so much to have one but I figured Katy's brother and sister in law, her aunt and uncle and her mom and dad had all heard me talk about the promotion so I went out and got one. So...here it is. The next question is who's going to get it!? Katy and I think Libby might like it the best.

So, two weeks, two blog posts. It's a start. Enjoy the pig!

Joel has a Blog?

Well, yes. The simple answer is yes, I now have a blog.

I've talked with friends about doing a sports blog for some time now and Emily and Eric have one so I guess it's another way to keep in contact with people...so it's going to turn into a way to keep up with me (I hope), a way to get my opinions (mostly on sports I'm going to assume) and talk a bit about my other random interests here and there. We'll see how it evolves...and if something takes up too much of my blog on this blog then I'll create a new blog and blog over there.
