I had a kid at school tell me that he asked his parents to start a blog. His parents did the same thing that I did, they laughed. I then asked why he wanted to start one, his reply was that he wanted to type out the 50 goals that he had set for himself so he could keep track of them and write about them.
I share with my students that I have a blog. I usually use it as an example if I am talking about experiential writing or something in that area. I talk openly about my goals and they constantly ask what goal I am working on or what goal I want to begin next. I have had kids in the past say that they had one or two goals that they wanted to do, but never have I had a kid that had a list of 50 that he wanted to begin right away (his time line is 3 years for completion). I was touched to see that he wanted so much to do something just like me.
The solution that his parents came up with was that he could just open up a Microsoft Word document and write everything there (sound's like Creed's blog).
We went to the library right after he had shared this information with me. I walked by his computer and saw that he had typed into the search box "how to start a blog."

I always knew you'd be a wonderful role model for others, EP. Do you remember the Seinfeld incident? I tell people about it when I'm bragging about you.
I don't remember the Seinfeld incident. I might need a gentle reminder.
