Let's do Launch!

x
Welcome to the daily rhubarb!

Had he not been assassinated, Harvey Milk would have been 79 years old today. I did not choose this date to take my blogging to the next level- it chose me.

Last night, I had decided two things- I was ready to launch, and I was going to take the cerebral approach to my Inaugural Post.

Working for quite a while, I had successfully composed a "Dear Mr. President" piece. I clicked "save as", then "new folder".

At that moment, the "Iceman Cameth".

Frozen as solid as my beloved San Jose Sharks' ice in May- oh wait, not May, not yet anyway. I meant JANUARY!

Gone. Nothing in the Recovery Files.

I shut down, vowing to rebuild in the morning. Today, however, is another day. I had to shift gears.

Coming Soon: "Dear Mr. President". In a few minutes: "Retirement is Great!".

It's an honor and a privilege to have had Bill Gates inadvertently select Harvey Milk's birthday for my blog launch date. I can only dream about having a sliver of the impact on society that Harvey had.
