new but old

My first blog was created in 2007 to capture the life of my first child growing up in an unfamiliar place, far from family and most friends.  It was a way to keep everyone in the know and a little snapshot of our day to day life.  Add in another child, plus a new business, plus a move, and my private blog became a hassle to not only me, but the readers who were constantly told they were now blocked from seeing it.

This blog is public.  After a few television appearances, I have grown to realize most everything is public now, so why not make it easy for my readers to do just that, come back into my blog and maybe laugh or identify somehow.

Welcome to SAME NEW SONG.  It will be familiar, but different.  I hope you love coming here.
