A stop at Denny’s to share a banana split.

Update: It’s September 28, 2018, and I have now published 1,930 blog entries since this banana split. This entry on January 1, 2005, represents my very first blog entry when I decided that instead of just doing a “POTD – Photo Of The Day” blog, I’d force myself to write a little something or other about what I was photographing. That didn’t always work out. At one point over the years, we even had a server crash that necessitated our pulling as many blog entries back from the mysterious world of various caches and archive services where we could find them; it was imperfect.

During this time, I found a passion for writing and only wish someone had somehow forced me to start blogging because, as Caroline and I have looked back over the years, we have discovered little treasures of memories that would have otherwise been easily lost to time. By the way, that very short sentence of 9 words about sharing the banana split was the best I could muster back on my first entry.

Update: All blog entries that show up here that are dated prior to this day were all added after 2005, such as the entry dated in 1963, shortly after my birth, which should raise a red flag considering the Internet didn’t send its first data until October 1969.
