And so it begins...

“You should create a blog” Amy says. Amy who threw a Groundhog’s Day Party at her home in Grand Rapids, Michigan four years ago. Amy who convinced me to fly in from Connecticut to attend the party. Amy, the tree hugging granola, who picked me up from the airport in the official purple and yellow NASCAR pace car. Amy who laughed when she told me her boyfriend (James Taylor, but not the James Taylor) works for NASCAR, and laughed harder when the people we passed on the freeway took photos of the celebrity car, and us inside.

That folks is my Amy P and the reason you’re reading this blog.

I haven’t heard Amy’s voice in about two years, but when I told her I was downsized, looking for work, starting a new company and planning to spend two months in Central America, she told me to start a blog- just to keep me occupied.

Sure... like I have the time. But the real problem is, when Amy speaks, I listen....

  1. Not so much to keep you occupied, but so we can all have a little piece of what is surely to be one of the best chapters in your book.

    Amy P is honored to quoted as part of this blog's creation. And even more honored to be your friend.
