Bandwagon

It's funny how I had resisted a blog until I saw how many friends had ones for their families.  So, here it is.  It was difficult figuring out a name that wasn't, well, so ordinary.  I first looked for alliterations, but they all sounded dumb.  I then looked up words that rhymed with Steele.  Newsreel, ordeal (appropriate at times!), surreal (that too), deal, could have worked but I liked the word spiel.  It's a word I had used often, but didn't really know the exact meaning. 

Here it is:

Main Entry:

Function:

noun

Date:

: a voluble line of often extravagant talk ....  in other words, blah, blah, blahg.

It works.
