What's in a name?

It’s a story, so you’ll have to wait for the reveal. 

A few years ago I started a blog to capture life with my chocolate lab, Gracie.  There was no shortage of stories about her and our trips to the local dog park.  She continues to make me laugh every day, but my dog-telling-story muse left me and I stopped writing that blog a few years ago. 

But lately I’ve wanting to resume blogging if for no other reason than to give me a chance to capture the stories I see around me.  I expect some postings will be about trivial things, some posts will border on the profound (at least in my mind!), and some posts will simply serve as a soap box for my points of view.

Which leads me back to the title.

At work, in meetings, when the topic of discussion does not suit a particular participant, I’ve noticed that they he or she will make a place for his or her opinion by announcing to the group “I’m going to take us down on a bunny trail.”  The person then proceeds to expound upon whatever it is he or she felt needed to be said regardless of its relationship to the meeting agenda. And, what's more, the other meeting participants generally forgive this tangent because an announcement has been made in adavance that it would happen.

That will be this blog.  I have no unifying theme to measure my blog posts against.  I may write about Gracie, but not solely about her.  I have not retired and moved to Mexico like my friend, Steve, who writes a fantastic blog about his adventures.  I have just my thoughts, my ideas, my opinions, and my stories.  I hope that those, tempered with my sense of humor and eye for the ironic, will make these blog postings interesting to read.

Thanks for reading.
