More introductory thoughts

So, Mom and I were kind of thinking that we could have all sorts of fun stuff on here. Not just random life updates (although those are cool) because we all keep in pretty good touch anyway.

No, we want to take it to the next level. The creative level. So we're hoping to have some family book club books and do responses to those, and some prompts that everyone can respond to, and maybe some longer pieces contributed by . . . interested parties . . . as you can see, our plans are so grand they become abstract.

Anyway, let's start off by having everyone say one thing that they think would be cool to have on this blog. This will serve to help us get a "blog vision" and also make sure that everyone knows how to sign on and leave comments.
