As always, Wayne asks great questions.
What has 4 years of blogging done for me? Is it worthwhile?
Yes – it’s worthwhile. Whenever I get to a place where this becomes work, I take a week or two off. I own the blog, the blog doesn’t own me.
It’s made me a better communicator. Both as a writer and speaker.
I’ve met a ton of new friends.
I’ve been able to spread the joy of uniforms.
Has it achieved the ends you thought it would?
Tougher question. I don’t know if I had any solid goals for starting the blog. At one point I thought it would be great place for some real authentic, raw community – but that can’t completely happen online. There are some things that get lost without non-verbal communication. So I try to be as vulnerable and real as I can but there are limits.
On the other hand, there are some posts/thoughts that seemed to take a life of their own. I had no idea how much of an impact they would have and how helpful they would be.
The Man’s Classification of Cars and NFL Uniform Rankings being two examples of this. Chuck Norris and The Best 3-Piece Band are another two. You just never know what is going to scratch an itch out there.

I would like to weigh in…first because this is the kind of post that doesn’t always get a ton of comments. But the actual reason for weighing in is to say thank you for writing. I only check a couple of blogs regularly and yours is one of them. I enjoy your take on life and spirituality and I enjoy keeping up with your family as well.
Pass my greetings on to them, by the way. I don’t know if the kids remember me…but I sure had fun out there with y’all a couple of years ago.
