Tale #1

OK, today's the day! I've finally started the blog I've been contemplating for months, Old Wife's Tales. This will be a place for me to share my thoughts on the world around me. I'm not going to limit myself to any one of my many interests, but, rather leave myself free to explore various topics that pique my interest.

A number of times recently, I've shared a thougth with friends and family, then read that idea a few days later, or heard some radio pundit saying my very words. So why shouldn't I be the one to introduce them to the world? This blog will give me that opportunity!

Right now I'm thinking about a few topics: President Bush's Social Security reform plan, observations on a new marriage, building our house in South Carolina . . . I just need to pick one and jump in!
