Welcome to my blog!

Thanks for making the effort to click your way here. I was never much good at keeping a diary or a journal as I was growing up. It felt too weird to write down what I was doing or thinking and possibly have someone else read it. Being a teenager was embarrassing enough without piling that on. As a journalist, blogging seems less like a diary and more like an online column, offering another way to publish information besides the standard printed page. So.... I foresee this blog space as a way to talk about what's going on with the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts around the area, or to offer quick hits on upcoming meetings or events, and finally to post updates on my newest attempt at improving my fitness level - the Governor's Fitness Challenge. That should be good for a laugh for those of you who are actually in shape. Lastly, the name, Chattin' Over Coffee, seemed like a good fit since I love a good cup of real coffee and I intend for this to be more of a friendly conversation than a rant. So, off we go!
