Xanga has gone up in smoke, so I have decided to give WordPress a try. I never did much blogging on Xanga anyway. I mostly enjoyed reading other people’s blogs, which is probably what I will end up doing on here too.
One thing I’ve blogged about for several years now is the Miss America pageant. I usually get started writing about it weeks in advance, but this year it snuck up on me. Believe it or not, the pageant is this weekend. Yes, as in Sunday. For as far back as I can remember, the pageant has been held in late January. One of the few things to look forward to after New Year’s, when the weather is still cold and icky. It will be strange watching Miss America in September. It’s not like people need anything else to watch in September. We already have more sports than we can shake a stick at — NFL football, college football, baseball playoff races, and NASCAR, for those of us who like to drink beer and watch cars drive in a circle.
I may even blog a little about my life since it has become notably more interesting lately. The elevator music of my life has changed tracks from Jimmy Buffet’s “Margaritaville” to “In The City” by the Eagles.
Speaking of which, can we play music on here? Does anyone know how to play music on here?
