Dear Friends & Family,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  I’m still amazed that it’s 2011.  2010 blew by so fast I hardly saw it come and go.

For my first blog post of 2011 I’d like to recap some of what happened here in 2010.  Overall, 2010 was a lackluster year for blogging in my life.  As much as I love and need the outlet to share, vent, resource, and network … other things kept taking the higher priority in life.  I’ve heard so many people say how “blogs” are dying and not relevant anymore.  Maybe that’s true to some degree.  For me I tend to get a lot more social engagement via my Twitter feed and Facebook posts.

Nevertheless, there are too many things I’d like to share, resource, and reveal that can’t be done in such short bursts of mindless information.  So, for now … FredMcKinnon.Com continues.

Small Town Stories

“Small Town Stories” is a new edition to the blog.  I’ve added the category and hope to share some stories this year.  Anyone who is around me more than 30 minutes knows I have a story for everything.  (yeah, and I know, I always feel compelled to share my stories with everyone with my big mouth!).  Maybe they are just entertaining for me, but I bet you’ll enjoy hearing them – so look for them here on the blog.
