First Post - Welcome All (Aaron)

Hello Gortat family et al. That means children (Diane, Betty, Tom, Carolyn, Lori), their spouses (we all know who they are), grandkids (too many to list) and great grandkids (they are probably using Facebook).

Welcome to the Gortat Family Blog! A place for the family and all hangers on to communicate and stay in touch on the latest gossip.

You are all invited to post messages, bulletins, pictures; whatever you please. No speedo pictures, please!

Why are we doing this? Well, blame it on the newest member of the Gortat clan - you know, the one who got a bell - Mr. Joseph Boccelli! Joe thinks it is silly that all of us, who get along so well when we are together, don't do the best job keeping in touch while we are apart.

There are some exceptions, of course, and Joe made his comments in good faith and with love for his new familia.

I for one, think he is exactly right on.

So, I thought, "why not a blog." It is easy to use (click here for instructions on how to post and here for more). Everyone can see what everyone else is talking about. We can post pictures (click here for instructions). And links to things we are interested in (see instructions here).

I hope you will all join (you should have received an email from me - let me know if you have questions) and start a wonderful family conversation!

It will make Joe happy.

And if you don't join in, the rest of us will gossip about you.

By the way, when you post, put your name in parentheses - it makes it easier to see who is posting. You can also comment on posts.

I will periodically update you with wonderful instructions on how to do amazing things.

Welcome to the 21st century!
