Shugar Goes to California (trailer)

Hello all, and welcome to the blog. This is the first of many installments that will be posted during the coming months to chronicle my time in California working as an Associate for MiLB.com.

This is my first crack at a blog for a few reasons:

1) I am finally doing something worth blogging about. I mean I am interesting, sure, but I am not that interesting. A new state and a new job, however, that is interesting...at least to me. The goal here is to make my new job and adventures to, from and in California interesting to you (a potential, faithful reader) as well. If that will or not, of course, still remains to be seen. My fingers are crossed.

2) This will be a convenient way for me to post links to all of my stories on MiLB.com, creating a personal archive of the stories for myself (and you) in the process. Considering the stage I am writing on, I would like to think that these will be some of the best clips I have ever written. Really. I would like to think that.

3) I can finally put my digital camera to heavy use. I mean, come on! Minor League ball parks, promotions, mascots, players, etc...if those aren't interesting what is? OK, well there is also California, and all the states I will travel through to get to California...plus my adventures in California. That's a lot of photo opportunities!

4) It will be a good way for me to keep in touch with everyone. I will miss you all, obviously, and I figured it would not hurt to provide a way to check up on me if you feel so inclined, or provide a medium that's easy to contact me through (my e-mail address will be posted...plus I think you can leave comments on these posts). This may be my last reason for having a blog, but it is certainly the most important

So yeah, don't be a stranger. Pop in and say hello whenever you feel inclined. I will provide the entertainment, hopefully, to keep you coming back.

That's it for now. I will be leaving for California in the next few days (by Wednesday or Thursday), and I will update here and there with details (address, travel info, etc...). Right now I'm still figuring some of the last, important details out...so bear with me.

Thanks for stopping/reading,
Mark
