I never liked Shakespeare until I got to college, and then I was too embroiled in trying to earn a living to 
fully appreciate his genius...
But one thing I learned from Shakespeare was the 'power of the pen'...
Unfortunately it would be nearly 30 years until I would be able to assert myself to take advantage of that reality and put down my own thoughts in the form of a 'BLOG'...
Did I need to wait until 'blogging' was invented, or did I need 30 years to mature before placing my thoughts down for public inspection and mass scrutiny until I tapped into that dynamic...
For me, what once would have been a scary and nerve racking endeavor, has become a quite pleasurable and even monetarily rewarding dream come true...
Blogging, and specifically Active Rain, has afforded me the opportunity to share my almost 40 years of title insurance and real estate related experience, and combine it with my love for my Church (the universal one, not just my local parish community) and my God, with people much like myself who enjoy sharing thoughts, feelings, insights, knowledge, and family with one another...!!!
Although 'blogging' can never replace personal contact and personal real world relationships, still, it is possible to build long and enduring friendships on this medium...and for that I 
thank, once again, the people at Active Rain that have made all this possible...!!!
Long story short, what could easily have been perceived as a nightmare has evolved into a pleasant midsummer night's dream...!!!
Thanks, Shakespeare, and thanks Active Rain...!!!
