The Winner Is -- The Weekly Eckstra!

Voting ended last week on the poll to name my new column on EckSpot. The clear winner is

The Weekly Eckstra

Thanks to those of you who voted. Special thanks to Mr. Matt Bachmann who came up with the winning name.

Now comes the hard part -- writing a column each week. I'll be honest in that I doubt there will be a new one each and every week week. It is a good goal and I'll pledge to do my best. I already have a running list of topics. I certainly welcome your suggestions and even guest column contributions from EckSpot regular readers. You are also welcome to start a dialogue by using the comment feature (the whole point of a blog, right?) What will I be writing about? Things that interest me in terms of things the kids are doing, sports, national/world events, pet peeves, fun stories, etc. I realize that this column probably won't be read by that many people (which was reinforced by someone from my almost immediately family who told me that he didn't vote because he doubted he would ever ready it). Perhaps more and more people will read if the columns are funny and have quality. We'll see.

Send me an e-mail (jason.c.eckert@gmail.com) if you'd like to be notified when a new column is posted.

As always I welcome feedback and ideas!

Matt, Dylan, and I can't wait to read the column on whether or not balloons are a tool of the devil!

Meg, Matt, and Dylan -- hey, let's not give out future column topics on the general site! :) That actually might not be my first topic. I may save it for a rainy day. Did you like how the pictures turned out?
