1978 meet 2007. After being stuck in some sort of time warp between the Bee Gee's greatest hits and the Miracle on Ice, I am pulling off my own miracle. I am officially joining the new millennium and all of the technology (notice I didn't say advancement) that it brings. Having finally mastered the fine art of signing onto my computer, I am taking the next step (actually about 10 steps) and starting my own blog.

Fortunately I will not be alone. Persefone Contos and NBC 30 Sports Producer Don Laviano will also be blogging with me. Whew! This way when I forget how to sign on I'll have someone to guide me.

The point of my blog will not be to call attention to the fact that I am a "70's guy." Those who know me or who have listened to the cd's in my car know that to be true. Actually the blog will allow me and our sports department to share our opinions and thoughts with you in a different more expanded context than we can in the 3 minutes or so we are allotted on the newscasts.

It is something I very excited about doing. Just like you, I have plenty of opinions about sports. Some of those I am able to share on "Sports Talk" on WTIC Newstalk 1080. But the difference here is that I am not ad libbing. Sure, these are some raw thoughts. But I hope to be able to articulate them for you perhaps better than I can on the radio or on NBC 30.

So I hope you can get to know me better through "The Point After." I am proud of my 70's music taste and proud to be a blogger and officially no longer a technophobe!
