In the beginning...

my first posting on my first blog. its very odd considering i dont know who is going to read this.

so what does the blog name mean?
i tend to get up early on saturday mornings while my wife enjoys sleeping in. i make myself an iced coffee and take our dog millie for a walk around the neighborhood. when we get back home, millie jumps back into our bed and goes back to sleep. thats when i tend to sit down in front of the computer to read the news and research topics that interest me. the topics can run the gambit -- political, sports, local community, or just weird facts. if my political leaders tracked when they receive emails from me, im pretty sure it would reveal that 95% of them arrive on a saturday morning.

as a kid i once wrote short stories revolving around a character named dirk hannah and ive always had a general interest in writing but have never really pursued it in any capacity. for a few years right after college i kept a journal. it started as a way to document a cross country trip but then morphed into just my daily musings on my life. this blog will help me continue to catalog some of my thoughts.

i may post more often then only saturday mornings but i hope you find some level of enjoyment or amusement in the things rattling around my head.
