Gung Ho

It makes sense that I would end up writing two blogs on two consecutive days. That's the way I am about new things. I am pretty gung ho. As you may or may not know, pretty Gung Ho is Hawaiian singer Don Ho's younger, lesser known sister. Unlike her famous brother, Gung Ho has always shied away from the limelight. She owns a costume jewelry shop in Maui called Tiny Baubles.

I think when I start a new enterprise--(Great, now search engines will pull up this blog when Star Trek geeks continue their never ending quest for a life)--I am excited about the possibilities. I am, at heart, a dreamer. I guess with this blog that dream entails someone actually reading it.

It should be noted that I have always had modest goals. By way of example, my recent acquisition of a number of clickable ball point pens was very fulfilling. I have often been told to be content with pencils, a few stick type pens and the occasional Sharpie, but I persevered. That's what I love about America. It's a land where a blue collar kid like me can grow up and own pens and a three-hole punch. Seriously, the Freedom to own Office Supplies should be in the Bill of Rights because it is way more relevant than Freedom of Assembly. Freedom of Assembly? What were our Forefathers, a bunch of loiterers?

Speaking of our Forefathers, why did they get all of the press while our Foremothers were largely forgotten?

"Ok kids, here is the history of women in early America. Betsy Ross sewed the first flag. End of story. None of the rest of them did squat. Lazy, good for nothing Foremothers."

If I had been a Forefather of our country I would have been so into it. Why? Because the country was new and I am very gung ho about new things. I would have helped write the Constitution, proofread the Declaration of Independence and then immediately lost interest.

Will I lose interest in writing this blog? Probably. But you won't mind, you probably lost interest in the second paragraph.
