Writing a blog will be new to me. Reading a blog may not be new to you. If this blog becomes boring or seems one-dimensional, forgive me. I'll get better at it.
Why engage in this quasi-conversation called "blogging?" Well, for starters, for all the publicized reasons: getting and staying in touch with interested parties in this business enterprise that seems to consume our professional lives; promoting glimpses of new things we're dreaming up; and providing a forum for comments from our customers, resellers, sales reps, company friends, personal acquaintances, old buddies, and (gasp!) competitors.
But there is another reason to engage in this blogging. It's a chance to have a real dialogue with interested and interestING people on the business subjects we attend to every day. Ideas and commentary about matters, large and small, of life in business flow through my brain in what seems like a steady and endless stream. What good is that, really, if it is inadequately shared? So, the experiences of my own decades-long love affair with global business are begging to pour forth here - many experiences in the wood business, including our Plantation custom-made floors, but also many from my years of international business travel, global adventure, and my ongoing looks at our larger world with wide-eyed fascination.
Undoubtedly we'll also spend a lot of blog time on more immediate, day-to-day subjects about hardwood flooring. What goes into making a reasonable flooring buying decision? What are the technical differences between "commodity" flooring, and "good" flooring? How can some flooring cost so little, and other flooring cost so much? I do hope there will be many other questions and answers that you, our gentle readers, will inspire.
Finally, for today, starting up this blog contemplates responses from the people who read it. If you read this thing, please respond. I expect it'll be fun, and we'll all have a good time.
