It's funny the things that stick. In college, my friends, like
all college students overburdened by the requirements of studies
and lifting multiple cases of beer, wanted to lighten their load
in every way they could. So to make their lives that much easier,
to reduce the burden of pronouncing both syllables in my last
name, my friends took to simply calling me "Wa" (pronounced
"Wah").
Coincidentally, the word "Wa," in Japanese, means harmony
and balance. That is SO me.
Thus I name my blog the "The Wa Blog." It does not
exist yet, of course. But it is COMING IN MAY 2008!! At the Wa
Blog actual Wa blogging is guaranteed to occur. I intend to root
through my teenage and college diary and provide choice excerpts
with commentary from a now middle-aged perspective. Photos will
be involved. Also, funny columns will be posted and other perks.
It is not to be missed.
"Wa Blog!" is also a great thing to blurt out loudly
in a meeting if anyone asks your opinion on the sales projections.
Believe me, they won't ask again.
If you are already an email subscriber, you will be notified
when the blog is live. If you are not, email
me with "When Wa blog" in the subject line today
and I will notify you soon too. No salesman will call.
