On Blogging and Reasons for It

When faced with the question "Do we really need another blog?" we couldn't come up with a solid yes, but then Melanie started thinking of Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Browning and I thought of John and Abigail Adams. Sure, it sounds romantic, but we feel like we missed out on the days when you could write letters to your spouse about your perspectives on the world. All that great stuff about not forgetting the women when the men were creating the new republic. Our relationship started through correspondence, but it doesn't make that much sense for us to send letters to each other when we're sitting two feet apart.

Blogging feels different.

Each week we'll share our take on pressing topics: postmodern literature, college basketball, or who left the keys in the door. It may occasionally devolve into airing our dirty laundry, but laundry is on her chore list anyway. Sometimes we might agree but rarely using the same words (she tends to use more). We hope it will be entertaining if not enlightening.

  2. Hopefully we'll be able to make it as interesting as we think it should be. Most of my ideas sound best in my head, then slightly diminish as they move out my mouth and into action.
