Welcome to the Blog!

It seems everyone is jumping on the Blog bandwagon these days and maybe I was starting to feel a little left out. The truth is, I just have a head bursting with ideas and things to say and people are starting to get a little nervous when they see me frequently talking to myself. In any case, I'm looking forward to sharing a little bit more about me and the way I see things.
Just a little intro... I am living in good ol' Edmonton, Alberta while I finish my studies at the University of Alberta. I am halfway through my third year here at this noble institution and I will earn (a stretch I'm sure) my Bachelor's of Education degree at the end of the 2006/2007 school year. When I'm not being kept busy with school, you can find me with my family: my beautiful wife, Katey, and our new son, Ben. We have a lot of fun together and I apologize in advance for my inevitable indulgences talking about how big he's getting and other cutey-wutey things he's done.
I think I'll leave it at that for now. I hope to make this blog somewhat meaningful and talk about some of the issues I think are important not just in my life, but for the lives of everyone else in this wonderful country of Canada. Since we are in election mode, you can probably expect the occasional political commentary and other dribble... bla bla bla.
In any case, I hope I can have an impact on the two people who may read this blog... you gotta start somewhere, right?
