Welcome to The Ranch

Where would you find a Longhorn if it were not on a Ranch? Really it is a simple answer. OK.... actually Longhorn's don't always exist on Ranches. But generally they do. Apparently. Anyway that is not important right now. What is important is to get something written up onto this blog I have created so that there is actually something here. So, I guess a note of welcome would be polite.

So welcome to my home.

The Ranch has always been the name of my principle place of residence, so now it is in cyberspace.

Hopefully I can keep this Ranch tidier than other Ranches I've lived in. I don't feel that I'm an untidy person but over the years I guess I have had to accept that I am. My old dog Moet, a flat coated retriever, actually convinced me that I was a bit messy. Moet told me I was untidy one monday morning after a weekend which was fairly full of social activities. She just surveyed the wreckage around the tv. Papers, pizza boxes, red wine bottles, many glasses, CD covers, clothes. Normally a happy, joyous dog who just wanted to play, lick you or eat, Moet seemed to shudder at the scene and just look at me and say "Wow!"

I think I cleaned up two days later. I didn't want to feel nagged by my dog.

So welcome to The Ranch. The aim of this venture is to .............. ? I have no idea. Tidiness is not going to be the goal though I can assure you. Let's just see what turns up OK !! Maybe I should develop a values statement and a mission statement, or maybe not. Let's just leave that for now.
