TexNetMaine: An Empire-In-Waiting Is Born!

Welcome to TexNetMaine! TexNetMaine is a network of blogs that, as of this writing, consists of three blogs, which I'll list later in this post, with more blogs under development. I don't want you to get the wrong idea, TexNetMaine  is not some high falutin multi-national conglomerate. The network has exactly one employee, and that is me; I am the Administrator as well as the chief cook, bottle washer, janitor and all around nice guy, the opinion of my ex-wives and some ladies that would have made outstanding ex-wives, notwithstanding.

A little history: I am still relatively new to blogging having started my first blog, Three States Plus One, June 14, 2010 followed on September 19 by Dumbass News and finally, Because Toby Said So debuted on November 12, 2010. On Three States Plus One, I write about the history, people, culture and, once in a while, a post about some personal experience while living in one of the "Big Three".  These three states are near and dear to me - Texas (born & bred), Colorado (I lived there for many years off & on) and Maine (where I finally hung hat almost 5 years ago). The Plus One part of the title refers to an occasional post about another state in the Union. Dumbass News brings The Dumbass on a daily basis and Because Toby Said So is a cousin to Dumbass News, except that I'll cover current events from time to time.

I write because it's a hoot to put something funny on "paper" and I think that humor is a great way to get people to think about what I have written. I don't try to change minds, I simply put food for thought out there and hope somebody eats it. It would be rather presumptuous of me to consider myself a professional writer, so I don't. I'm just a guy who writes stuff and hopes tons of people will give it a look, like it and re-visit my sites. Sometimes I use adult language, but only when I feel it's necessary to the plot. And given the plot in some of my writings, a little cussin' certainly can't take away from something when there's nothing there. But, you'll find that out on your own soon enough, when if you stop by one of my places.
 
Personal: I am married to Heather; Dad to Trey, Toby, Isabella and Bailey. They range in age from 31 all the way down to 3 years old. I'm also a proud Grandpa to five aewsome grandkids, 3 boys, 2 girls.

I am a Native of Texas now living in Maine. I'll tell you about it sometime. It's a long story, so don't ask.  :)  I am a helluva fisherman, if I do say so myself (and I just did...Fish. Fear. Me.) and an avid gardener. I love all the major sports except soccer. I just don't get soccer.

I think I covered what I needed to be covered, but I will certainly entertain any questions you might have. Ask in the comment section of any post or drop me an email at texnetmaine AT gmail DOT com. Any and all email will be read and answered; 99% of the time on the same day it was sent. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
