After thinking about it overnight, if I want my kids to learn about who I am, posting my thoughts on a blog isn't a very good way of accomplishing that.
I mean, the annual fees are pretty high. And the company TypePad (or whoever aquires them in the future) needs to maintain its files for decades. And I need to remember the URL. And any really personal stuff will be self-censored because this is all public.
Getting back to my original point... trying to find motivation for blogging. I don't think it should be done to communicate with my kids. I need another motivation...
Other sources of motivation and why they won't work for me
Money/Business - initial payoff too low to keep me committed for long haul - certainly for "vague thoughts"
Fame - don't care enough about strangers on Internet
Desire to Tell my story - my lovely wife hears all my stories
