I decided to create a blog. I have two reasons for doing so. The first reason has to do with a blog by a guy named Christopher Clark. He has a blog and his sense of humor reminds me a bit of my own. Or at least of how I perceive my sense of humor, and I imagine that he has a lot of fun doing it, so...I thought I'd give it a whirl. Hopefully it will be enjoyable for others as well as for me.

The second reason is that Laura (my wife, or "she who must be obeyed", which ever you prefer),occasionally posts things that need some, uuum...clarification. It doesn't happen often. She doesn't post the embarrasing things that happen in our home often but has threatened to once or twice and I could need a way to set the record straight now and then.

My biggest problem will be keeping up and making posts now and then. I chose the name mixednutsandstuff begrudgingly. I wanted it to be simply 'mixed nuts', but it was not available. I told Laura that and she thought of a few names involving nuts that she didn't quite think through completely. When spoken out loud, they became a problem. You may have imagined one or two of them yourself. Anyway, mixednutsandstuff it is.

I don't know that I'll be posting anything before Thursday. That being the case, I feel its in order to wish everyone a very happy and thankful Thanksgiving.
