What's with the title?

When I was in grade school and learning to write, I liked simple, clean sentences. I did not like any extra things in my sentences, such as commas, hyphens, apostrophes or much of anything else that my strange little mind viewed as making a mess in my clean sentence. I repeatedly heard, "Don't forget the comma," from my teachers. A lot.

Luckily I've gotten over that odd little dislike of punctuation in a sentence. In fact, now days I tend to err on the side of too many! I try to edit them out when I go back and reread through my stuff, but I'm not always successful. My writing skills are rusty these days. Somewhere after college I stopped writing much of anything of worth and like any skill, if you don't use it, you lose it. Email doesn't count.

So here I am once again trying to find my muse. I'm not sure where she's gone off to, but hopefully with some time and effort I'll find her again. I'm not sure yet what the subject content of this blog will be. I guess we'll find out soon enough!
