Let's Get It Started

Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky...
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights...

Introduction
Well now hello to everyone. Indeed, let us get acquainted and prepare for our journey together over the next month. Some of you know me from Ninety and Nine's sports blog, The Benchwarmer(s). I'm David, the one who knows relatively little about sports considering the fact that I landed the big sports blogging job with Bradley McDonald for one of the most well read web zines in Apostolicdom.

My wife, a 5th grade school teacher, often has her kids do what is called a bio-poem on the first day of class. By way of introduction, I thought I would give you my bio-poem.

Note: It's only good for up to 7 days and all sales are final.

and all of us come together

A Month in My Life
So what will we get into this month? Well, besides letting you know me and my daily thoughts, ramblings, and goings on, I plan to bring to you the best cultural, intellectual, and religious brain candy that I can find. We may even work in a devotion or two, perhaps on a weekly basis, yes? And I know that it is hard to imagine, but I'm very much into poetry. As it happens, April is National Poetry Month. We'll have lots to present and discuss on that subject as the month unfolds.

Tiger by the Tail
Before I leave you this evening, allow me to put my sports blogger hat back on for just a moment. Our (Lee Ann, Bradley, Me) LSU Tigers took it on the chin Saturday night. Bradley and I watched the game together along with our lovely wives, my son, and his dad, and there were only long faces and second guessing all game long. A week ago I didn't think the Tigers could be beat. Last night I was reminded that there really are 3 freshmen and a sophomore in the starting line up. It's truly incredible that they made a Final Four appearance, and I'm proud of that.

Special thanks to Bradley who saved the evening by brewing some freshly ground Starbucks coffee.

And In Conclusion
Thanks to Wendy who did a fantastic job driving this blog during March. I appreciate your kind words. Also, let me make one more plug for The Benchwarmer(s). I may have removed the sports hat for a month, but as you will see, I am replaceable. Check it out!
