Welcome To Two Cans On A String Blog
I’ve been blogging here since July of 2014. With so much content available, I decided to mix some of the older posts with the newer ones to give you a true flavor of what this website is all about. The concept of “two cans on a string” makes me smile. I remember as a child trying that out — it wasn’t the best, but we had fun talking about the stuff that interested us at the moment. That’s what I’ve created here. I hope you enjoy it!! And . . . Thanks for stopping by!

I know some who blend their videos into their blogs quite nicely. I don't believe it has to be one or the other. As much as I'd like to, video doesn't seem to be for me. It seems easier to record doing some task than stopping every few minutes to take a picture. I...
