Starting a blog using my real name is like being born again! Well maybe not like that! Probably more like that little kid in the middle up above… just happy to be alive. No more hiding behind monikers, email addresses, or just plain out of site. Pretty scary actually. What if I say stupid things? Oh well.

Before I do anything else I need to take care of some of the basics:

I love my mom. Hi Mom! I love my dad, Jack, too. He passed away about 17 years back and is buried at Arlington National Cemetery.

I love my wife, Kathy, of 23 years!

I love our 4 boys – Brian 18, Kevin 16, Dustin 15, and Colin 5.

And yes I love you too Pooch, Moon (cat), Fish not so much, but I’ll feed ya, mouse of Kevin’s… he’d be my favorite pet if he could cook like Remy (the star in the movie Ratatouili), but he just runs his tail off on a treadmill. <– Hey! Isn’t that what we do too!?

As for you brothers, sisters, my Hawaiian o’hana (family), nephews, nieces, uncles, aunts, friends, etc…, I love you too!!!

Ok. DavidCoakley.com is hereby born at 12:57 a.m. November 21st, 2007.

What do I do next? : )
