Welcome to Lindsey's Low Down. For more than 25 years I have looked for avenues to share my thoughts on a wide and eclectic range of subjects.
In college I had the opportunity to write a column for The Daily O'Collegian. The topics were usually related to the political issues of the day. I still really enjoy politics and discussing current events with friends. parts of the Low Down will include some of my thoughts on the day's political issues.
The first crack at Low Down comes one day after the massive earthquake hit Haiti. As I watched the news this evening I was struck by how poor that country really is and how devastating this quake was. It reminded me of watching the aftermath of Katrina, the May 3rd tornadoes in Oklahoma City, and 9/11. Low Down will include my thoughts on some current events.
Almost four years ago I wanted to start writing a journal to reflect the events and happenings of as my daughter grew up. I started that journal on a number of occasions and was never happy with how it read. I think I was trying to write too much and too often. The Low Down will include some observations of the life of a three year old girl and her parents.
My wife is an attorney in the public defenders office and I spend a great deal of time working in the political environment that is the state capitol. While these professions are not really related, they do create some remarkable stories. Some I can share here and others that I can't, but there will some that I hope you will enjoy.
I'm hoping to add to the Low Down two or three times per week. Some weeks there'll be more to write and others I may be out to lunch mentally. But I'll get something up on a regular basis.
I welcome your thoughts, comments, questions, and suggestions. Let me what you think and enjoy Lindsey's Low down.
