Blame it on Johnny

Several months ago my friend and co-worker, Johnny Scott, said he was going to give me a "shout-out" on his blog. I watch SportsCenter, so I was with him at "shout-out", but I was left wondering what this word "blog" was about.

I made an effort that night to locate his blog, but was unable to do so. The site told me it was under maintenence. I took this to mean I'd been deemed anti-tech savvy to the point of incompatibility with all things blogging. Not to be detered I made a call to Al Gore - since he invented the Internet and all - to see if he could get me the needed authorizations to view Johnny's blog. Several weeks after it was originally posted I was able to search Johnny's archives and find that in fact he had referenced me in a post.

Fast forward to today, I was informed that we - the staff of Christ In Youth - were going to all have blogs. Again, Johnny was a central character in this. After several explanations and a number of off-the-cuff diggs at Macs I had my very own blog. So, if this all goes south Johnny Scott will most certainly be to blame.

My primary concern here is filling the content vaccum on the Internet that Johnny informed me of today. I think this blog should pretty much take care of that problem. Johnny, you can go ahead and check that one off the list as solved.

Some topics to come in future days - timing pending my wife's grading schedule (when she is busy grading her students work I am allowed to use the computer and/or the PS2) - could include:

- The Trans Am - the last American Muscle Car, RIP
- The Land Grant University - A vision for a better future in rural America
- The Marathon - 26.2 miles you can't fake

And hopefully I'll come up with some other topics that actually have meaning.
