Hello Dixon Patch-ers! Patchies? Patchminas?

Hello Dixon Patch! Get ready for a wild adventure. Actually it's just a quick trip to Safeway.

I don't know about you, but I for one love that The Patch exists in Dixon.  I think that the Dixon Tribune does a great job, but when you are a local news junkie like me, I need my fix 24 hours a day.  Did I mention that I'm a slightly neurotic Type A? No? Well, you'll soon figure that one out.  Anyway, cheers to getting hyperlocal news.

When I asked to be a blogger for the Dixon Patch, it was after weeks of consideration whether or not my thoughts were good enough to share with the internet.  Actually, I'm still not sure if they are, but share them I will.  Maybe amidst all my pointless jibber-jabber, you'll get a useful tip, an idea, or find something to relate to, however obscure.

To tell you the truth, I am a little terrified of sharing my thoughts in such a small community, sans anonymity. But...I would rather do it knowing that someone is out there listening.  So please feel free to ask questions, comment, follow-up on my posts. I won't pretend that this blog is "where the real conversation begins", but it is a conversation nonetheless, probably better than the ones I usually have in my head. Take that Anderson Cooper! No wait, I take it back.  I actually am quite obsessed with you.

So here I go, on my maiden voyage.  Please join me for the trip. I can't promise an exciting ride, but I can guarantee there will be LOTS of gratuitous singing.
