Stepping to the Plate

Well, it’s time to step to the plate and take a swing at a 21st century mode of communication. Our staff has been reminding me (i.e., bugging, nagging me) to get started. Write a blog (a Web log), they say. So what’s the problem? Writer’s block? Ideas going subzero? Nothing catching my attention? No. One more thing to do? Maybe. Then I saw this cartoon in the current issue of Leadership magazine (Winter, 2006, Vol. XXVII Number 1, page 11), and I knew immediately what had happened to me.

Yeah, and both ways could describe blogging.
