…and I just started blogging. I’m converting my previous website over to this blog over the next few weeks, so slowly you’ll see my page count grow – and my post count too.

What will I be blogging about? Hmmm. Probably some of everything… All I know is my last web site kinda sucked and I’m already much happier with this!

1. The ‘make money at it’ part of my lifestyle. Currently that’s working with professional speakers and writing on CampusTalkBlog. I’ve stopped referring to this part of my life as my job, profession, career or business. Using those terms creates a separation that I’m no longer comfortable with. It’s an integral PART of my life (not my whole life) and it has to fit into the lifestyle I’m building or it just doesn’t work for me.
    
2. My crazy, interesting and always entertaining family/families. Who, by the way, are no more or less disfunction al than the next family – make the your family. From my amazing daughter (aka Ladybug) and budding nieces and nephews who make me a kid again, to my sisters who’s elevators don’t go all the way to the top (and you know who you are!), to aging parents and everyone related to me by some convoluted way… they entertain me. Might as well share. 
    
3. Living healthy. I just wanna feel great every day and leave a good lookin’ corpse!
    
4. Stuff I just find interesting, even if you don’t. That includes the Steelers, Star Trek, Jeopardy and whatever.
    
5. Music, music, music. Because “Life Deserves a Soundtrack,” and I’ve been called by a few, “The Best DJ Ever!”
    
6. Movies. Answer: “Dialog.” Question: “What makes a good movie, Alex?” I don’t do a lot of TV, but I’ll watch a good movie any time!
    
7. My Personal Reading Library. “God bless books.” That’s all I can say. I’m really into audio books these days, so you’ll probably hear a lot about those.

Ohhh, a whole lot more of my life as I’m livin’ it. But why keep talkin’ about it. Just do it. I’ll be bloggin’ back atcha soon!

PEACE.
