Our First Blog. Blog?




Blog. Say that a few times and think about what a stupid word that is. Blog. Why don't they call it something else. That is half the reason I have resisted setting up a blog. It's a combination of blob and log or bog and lob.
Anyway, the creation of a Samuel and Amy Parry family blog has become more justifiable now that Amy's parents have moved to Mexico. Check out their new blog www.mexichans.blogspot.com. Their blog
title is a play on the word mexican and their last name which is Channer. It sounds kinda like mexican only it's mexichan and it really is quite clever... quite clever indeed. Supposedly they like our children and miss seeing their angel faces. This blog (or blob on a log) is a venue for them to enjoy the visual pleasure that photographs of my children provide. This enjoyment is not limited to my mother and father inlaws however. We hope people will check in from time to time to see what is going on with the family (if time does not allow a personal email or phone call).
Another reason for the blog, a secondary reason (so far) is that I have been really impressed with Zach's use of a blog as his journal and his dedication to keeping it current. This blog might turn into that for us. For now it will be a compilation
of random posts and pictures that we appreciate and hope that others will as well. This may not work at all. In other words, this is a massive experiment and may be abandoned at anytime. Enough of the blog introduction. Check back for more posts to come. I'm a blogger... I blog... I blog.

What an exciting blog Parry's! We can't wait to check back often to read your witty posts and see your great pictures. Keep it real.

Indeed. Funny how you can start a blog and tell no one about it and the next thing you know you are found.

I thought your blog was the Pennsylvania Brand. Is PA supposed to stand for Parry?

Oh, and thanks for the shout out.

By the way, blog is short for web log, or weblog, or a log, short for logbook, of stuff that you put on the web, which is short for the world wide web. In other words, a blog is a World Wide Web Logbook. (world wide weB LOGbook) Blogs are also referred to as Reverse-Chronological Journals, though it is somewhat more rare a term.

And thanks for explaining that Mexichan thing (obvious) and not the PA Brand (not as obvious).

Oh, and thanks for having a blog for almost two weeks and not telling me about it.
