A New Purpose

Well, after a few pokes and prods from one Pat Girouard, here it is - "the blog".

To all who come to this happy place, welcome. Here, age relives fond memories of the past, and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. This blog is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams, and the hard facts that have created America, with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world.

Note: this is actually the speech Walt Disney gave to dedicate Disneyland. Still, it's pretty inspiring. Hope to hear from at least a few of you on these pages as the weeks and months roll by. And to all those who might have read this page while it was known as "Sox-Irish", I'll still be around to blog nonsensically about those twin terrors in my life, the Chicago White Sox and the Fighting Irish. For now though, enjoy as I turn the wheel over to some dear friends of mine. Blog away, ladies and gents.
