Haaay everybody! (said in a Harry Caray voice)
Haaaaay!
I just noticed something. The Thompson Madness blog had a birthday a few weeks ago. I guess we were all having too much fun to notice.
So far it's working pretty much exactly like I hoped it would - even better, really. For a while I was handling most of the content. And then I think I got really busy one week, or went on vacation or something, and some of you had withdrawal and I was getting worried emails from people concerned for Grandma's well-being if the blog went dormant... And so others started chipping in. First Matt, then Chris. Kirsten. Then Grandma and Grandpa. The uncles. There were mind-blowing pictures of bull-dogs, tattoos, motorcycles, vacation photos, old photographs, birthdays, graduations, weddings and dire warnings about nose picking.
If I could just get my mom and Trish involved in posting I could rest easy. Oh, and Sarah. Sarah never took the Thompson Madness quiz. Don't think I forgot, Sarah. I didn't. And I'm not singing at your wedding until you do.
So yeah, it's exceeded my wishes and I can tell everybody's having fun with it.
I would ask if there's anything anybody would change about the blog if they could, but it seems to be working really well as a low-key, fun and lighthearted "hello" between us all. Still, I'm up for suggestions...
Here are the two things I want to see happen at some point in the near future of the blog:
1. A redesign of the masthead and/or overall look of the blog from Stephen.
2. Contributions or interviews from/with Karen, Mark and all of Uncle Scott's exes.

Hey--let's let the next gen web designer take over. Chris can design the masthead. Eh? : ) And I agree--Trish and Mark need to post occasionally. Overall I like the blog. It's been fun. I admit I go spells forgetting about checking it but overall have kept pretty up to date on all T family happenings. Thanks Daniel for instigating and bugging. BTW--I wouldn't change much except getting everyone to learn to post.
I already love going back and reading some of the early ones. I feel like I've gotten to know the family so much better (even the ones I haven't met) and so much appreciate it!
That's hilarious. All my exes. They are all at the funny farm. What can I say. I picked em...
I like the blog the way it is but if anyone wants to change it, that's fine with me. I agree, more of the family should get involved. I want us to all stay connected and the blog is one way to do that.
And Daniel, I will try to do better in my duties.
I don't know how to post.
Good grief. I write more than ANYONE!
Can you imagine how bad it would be if I could post....you'd have pictures of my wild social life, my office, my house, my new logo for Children's Ministries, my flowers....
