Why blog? This has been a recurring discussion in my mind for the past six years. Blogging is such a flagrant act of narcissism and, though I quite like myself, I don't openly admit it. For some reason today is different and I'm textually announcing that I think you all want to hear what I have to say about stuff. And, you want to see pictures of my kids.

It would seem, however, that I am not fully prepared to accept my own egotism because I have enlisted the other Big J to join me on this blog. Sharing a blog divides the conceit in half and I feel better about that. Besides, as a stay-at-home mom with three young children, I spend a lot of time thinking about things. Jessi spends that time doing things. I think we two will make a good balance. I just need to convince her to get off her river raft, or mountain bike, or snow skis long enough to compose something.

As for the blog title, I thought an international edge was necessary because Jessi and my musings are likely to be provocative, insightful, and extensive. We will undoubtedly draw an international audience over time and I want all to feel welcome.

Cheers! (A la votre)
