The only thing that doesn't change in life is ... well ... change.

It's a simple statement that often is overused, but it's true. And that's what this blog is really all about. I plan to share my thoughts on our changing world while commenting on a wide range of topics: from family life to kids' activities to pop culture to one of my favorite topics, sports.

I wrote a fairly popular column in my former life as a newspaper editor. My weekly Slice of Life column was meant to give people some insight into life of a father and husband as his kids grew up around him. I plan to take that same tone. While this is primarily written for the benefit of family members and friends from afar, I hope you'll find some entertainment from what I'm writing. And, if you're so inclined, feel free to chime in on the discussion.

As I write this, I'm preparing to get started as the communications director for the Great Plains Conference of the United Methodist Church. It's a chance to use my writing, photography and, to some extent, video skills while serving my Savior. I'm sorry if that turns some of you off, but I'm really excited to get started.

But I have to get to my new home base -- Lincoln, Nebraska -- first. So, I'll share some adventures (hopefully not misadventures) in moving. I'll also share a little about what I'm up to as I explore my new surroundings.

I'm a proud alumnus of the University of Kansas, thus the title for this blog. I really am a Jayhawk moving into the middle of Husker Nation.

So that's the plan. I plan to write once or even twice a week. Some posts will be short. Some will be long. Some will be reflective. Some may very well be nonsense.

I hope you have as much fun reading it as I will writing it.

Rock Chalk Jayhawks, KU! Hail to the crimson and the blue.

And I'll also be rooting for the scarlet and cream of Nebraska U!
