I’m sure that right now you’re saying to yourself thank goodness we have another blogger in the world because there’s not nearly enough of them out there today. I can’t say I could blame you if you thought that way, and so the question is why would I do this?Firstly, all the so called experts say you should blog. By doing so it enhances your company and personal brand, or so they say. Secondly, it’s a creative outlet. I work in a world of numbers, process, execution, risk mitigation and all kinds of other sexy stuff. To share my thoughts, opinions and personal tidbits does have some creative appeal for me. It will also push me to do something that I am not totally comfortable with, writing. Get me in front of a room full of people to do a presentation and I’m on. Writing a story that others may actually be interested in reading sounds like a challenge to me. The reality is that I enjoy a good challenge and if it ends up that mom is the only reader of my blog so be it. I know she’ll love it because she loves everything I do, and I’m her favorite. My poor brother is so delusional.

I hope it’s clear by now that my blog will have a lighter side to it. At times I’ll comment on serious issues relating to the mortgage industry.
But I have every intention to comment on my other passions, family, politics and sports. Hey, it’s my blog. Remember, there’s one person out there that will love it. Hi mom!

I’m off to dig through newspapers, the net and other information sources to come up with great ideas for a blog. You see I have plenty of time to do that right now because I’m in the the Air Canada Maple Leaf Lounge, waiting for my flight which has been delayed by three hours, and counting. Me thinks there will be a blog in the future about Air Canada, oh, most definitely.

Until next time.

Cheers.
