my first blog

Dear family and friends, Alex has made a blogger of me on the foundation of computer instruction given me by Maren and Joseph at Christmas. Thank you for your caring and patience. In my very limited experience I appreciate how blogs allow us to stay in touch on a real time basis that beats a phone call because we can savor it more lastingly. It was suggested by Margo that I call my blog 'free advice--worth the price' so anytime I feel the impulse to proffer anyone a dose of my unsolicited wisdom, worth, I claim, at least what it costs you, nothing, I may do so without having to hear the snickers or groans or an obligatory, if insincere, thank you. Given my nearly nonexistent keyboard skills, you are all now fairly safe from the threat of a future overdose of dads free advice. I will, however, extend to each of you the invitation to blog me with any advice that you think I may benefit from, as long as the cost is the same as I ask for mine. Until I get my own computer I thank my wife, Mona, for the use of hers. Yours always near though far, Ken F

P. S. My advice to you is keep blogging.
