Is this thing on?

Hello world.

We are simple people living in extraordinary times.

Heaven knows why, but our family has a blog now. We'll be using it to keep friends and family informed of our activities and other goings-on, to share any other info someone might be interested in, and perhaps to sporadically post a poorly-informed but sincerely felt opinion about the outside world.

Forgive us in advance for any missteps, faux pas (not sure how to plurarlize that), or other goofy things we get messed up as we figure this thing out. We're all pretty tech-savvy, but completely blognorant.

That's all for now!

Matt
