a welcome message ...

hey old friends and hopeful new ones, welcome to 'askance per chance: a 21st century kantucker.'

what you see here, which at this point isn't much, and that which will follow, is the result of several of you (graciously) reading at the moment, prodding (some call it 'motivating') me to start sharing and all. can't for the life of me figure out why, but i do enjoy writing and riffing, so why not? heck, it's free, so what's the harm?

in the past, i have blogged ... and was quite serious about it ... but few saw it. could have been the forum, could have been the quality of content. who knows? that really doesn't matter. the point being, this is not my first go-round. however, i approach this site with a renewed vigor and with goals in mind. what those are, well, that remains to be seen ... but i know i have them.

so what to expect ...

well, you'uns will likely be reading whatever strikes my kentucky boy fancy ... don't laugh, it's okay and totally an example of strong manhood to have a 'fancy.' but i digress. expect to read a bit about politics, a bit about music, a bit about movies, a bit about my sometimes weird life and, aw heck, just about anything. like some of you know, expectations might as well be thrown out. let's just keep the possibilities open.

but certainly, we can look forward to the influences each and every one of us struggle with. our nation, our world, our God, our hopes, our fears, our shrinking bank accounts and our expanding waistlines. so, basically, we can just look forward to a whole bunch of fun stuff ...

i am excited to be posting and sharing with you'uns. i mean that. and if you don't believe it, wait around. i hope to be entertaining, honest and relevant. accomplish that and maybe we will all feel we have gotten something for free.

One.
