Discovering Your True North

What this Blog is about.

When I first discussed the idea of a blog with my wife Joann, I needed an appropriate name for it. I didn’t want to name it after my book- I’m hoping this blog is here for a long time. We’ll have to see how it goes.

My Life at 80 M.P.H. seemed very apropos. I spend between 2.5 and 3 hours daily behind the wheel and my ‘speed’ seems to be 80 M.P.H. (maybe some of you remember the old Sammy Hagar song ‘I Can’t Drive 55-well, that’s me).

All of this driving gives me plenty of time to think and formulate ideas on a wide variety of subjects. Sometimes I’ll remember and think about past times in my life, both good and bad. Sometimes it’ll be about current situations with me and my family. Current world events take center stage at other times. I just spend a lot of time musing.

I’m hoping we (me and other followers of this blog) can openly discuss different subjects and solicit each other’s opinions for consideration by all. I’d like to ask that we keep it civil. Nothing will get accomplished by yelling and screaming, calling each other names, etc. Please remember that everyone’s opinion here is valid no matter how off the wall they may seem to you individually.
