Takin’ it Live

Well, I decided to go live with WordPress after only one day. I mean honestly, I don’t have to pay much attention to how the darn thing looks (and I think it looks great), only to what I’m writing. It’s not like I’m planning to write a book, or looking to be published. I just need a place to put my thoughts and one of those thoughts was how was I gonna do it?

This is a great little piece of software.

What I am listening to in My Car

Right now I’ve got “The Millionaire Mind” on CD in my car. I’m on CD #7. The whole book is about what millionaires have in common (besides the obvious).

Most of them own their own businesses (and not particularly glamourous businesses).
They are relatively frugal.
They live below their means.
They are happily married.

This has been a really enlightening book and I highly recommend it. It’s a pretty easy “listen”.

What Will I Write Here?

What I plan to write here is what I have on my mind at any given time. You might not be interested, but heck, who knows?

I want to tell you about my kids and grandkids. They are amazing!!

Oh, BTW my youngest son, Craig, will be playing at the Bourbon Street Distillery here in Indianapolis on September 30 from 5pm-7pm. His band is a folk-bluegrass kind of band. Craig plays the guitar, fiddle, mandolin, and banjo in the band. They call themselves The Junkyard Dawgs (Craig lives by a junkyard, but the rent is free and the utilities are cheap and he is out of my house), Yellowood (reminds them of dog pee on wood), or the Jackson Brothers (no, none of them are Jacksons or brothers). Y’all need to come and hear them. They really are quite good.

Tryin’ out WordPress

I’ve been trying to decide which direction to go regarding the layout of my personal website. I started out with Mambo/Joomla. While I like Mambo/Joomla, I wanted this site to be more personal looking and more of what you would expect a personal blog site to look and feel.

So I downloaded WordPress and installed it in about 10 minutes. I found the theme and made a few modifications to the header to fit how I wanted the site to look using Photoshop and VOILA! a new website.

Let me know what you think!
