First Post

Greetings All,

In the spirit of trying something new every day - make that every week - I'm going to write a blog for the Vicksburg Art Association. This should be interesting...

How will I know anyone is reading? Well, you know the Highway 61 Coffeehouse? And you may or may not know I like coffee? I will buy a cup of coffee for the third person every week who writes or contacts me and can mention one new item on the blog. We can talk about the Art Association, or about dogs, or work or retirement, or whatever, while enjoying a cup.

What on earth does the word "blog" mean, anyway? The web page Whatis.com says a blog is short for weblog. " a personal online journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption..." It also says the characcter of the blog reflects the character of the person writing (I should think) so you may get to know me better. If, during that process, you decide there might be other folks in the Art Association worth getting to know better, cool. Come join us at our next meeting on the 10th of October, and/or the workshop on the 14th and 15th, and/or at the Fall Show opening on the 28th.

Ummm, you didn't think there could not be a pitch for membership and participation, now did you?

Cheers, Jean
