A Fresh Start and a Reflection on What's to Come

Life is what happens while we're making other plans.

I choose this paraphrase on a line attributable to the late John Lennon as a starting point for this new place to share my own thoughts. This isn't my first trip down the blogging path since I've been doing this in some form for nearly a decade or more between my own websites and other blog sites (including other spots on Blogspot / Blogger). Before choosing the Clubhouse Connection name here, I had a website with the same name for the past five years. After paying for that domain and allowing it to expire, it really didn't make much sense to continue down that path when I was no longer selling anything there (and could sell things basically anywhere via PayPal or whatever means).

So, with what I've done before, why start over new? I had "specialty" blogs (which still exist) for baseball and NASCAR to cover sports as well as a general topics one over at Sporting News website. With tagging and search engines finding whatever might appeal to a general sports fan, there doesn't seem a point to limit myself to those other blogs and just write here. I realistically don't expect a lot of people to read here given so many choices available to them, but I can hopefully provide some perspective that may be enough unique that you can't find somewhere else. Whatever the case might be, that's where I begin.

I am intentionally stopping at a short point here given limited time to resume writing again in the near future where I might give this place some new direction. Until then, welcome here.
