In the beginning...

The initial idea for me to write a blog was inspired by many things. First and foremost, I miss the classroom. I could never have imagined that I would have missed the homework, the debate, the (at times) unending drone of lectures, but I freely admit, I miss it. After I graduated from grad school I found it difficult to identify people outside of my workspace who would/could debate issues in higher education. Now, I have ventured further out into the 'real world' and it seems there are even fewer people that I come into contact with in my day-to-day routine whom I would delve into a conversation with further than, "how are you? How about those Chiefs or the Saints?"

The second inspiration for this blog stems from the first. I have a true desire to converse with people in a meaningful way and build relationships deeper than the surface. It's safe to call this the "welcome to our bond" moment if you are familiar with Greek Life or Phi Mu. If you are reading this, I strongly encourage you to engage me!

In an effort to satisfy my pursuit of life-long learning, whatever the subject, this blog is intended to serve as an outlet for the random thoughts that pop into my head. Each and every day I entertain thoughts on everything from leadership theory to box scores to mechanical/operational systems. Damn near everything in this world interests me. Please trust me when I say that I have asked a question out loud, pondered a question silently, or will inevitably do one of those two things in the future with regard to whatever strikes my fancy.

So there you have it - tune in, join in and buckle up. This could certainly be entertaining!

Oh, and one more thing... Thanks for believing in me and heart to hearts.
