Since this is my first blog post, it seems fitting to lay out a bit of info regarding my reasons for embarking upon this little endeavor. The blog gets its name from the highest hope I have regarding it, the hope that my friends (who happen to be among the smartest and funniest people in the world) will use this place as a forum for kicking around ideas, sharing funny stories, and generally continuing to make my life as rich as they have for the last 22 years.
Some specific hopes: (Imagine a dramatic drumroll…)
° I hope Laura Dalton shares some stories here. Laura is quite possibly the single most entertaining person alive, and I feel there should be a platform for getting her awesome stories out to the world. Maybe she will start guest-blogging here.
° I hope people will share their thoughts with me. I miss Millsaps. Classes brought together some of the brightest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and turned them loose on myriad issues with very little fear of where the discussion might go. I want that back in my life, so I'm going to use a few of my posts to float my own thoughts on various issues. I hope those who happen upon this blog critique those thoughts, suggest further reading, tell me I'm ridiculous… I love nothing more than dialogue.
° I hope that the word "hope" doesn't appear in the next few posts. It needs a rest.
