For those who missed it, Heather Armstrong (dooce.com) was on the Today Show. Heather’s interview starts about the 2:40 mark.

Our wedding planning has officially started.  And as such, I’ve decided to start a blog based on the trials of being a groom while planning a wedding.  I had originally wanted to post everything on this site, but I’ve since decided that it’s best to have a seperate blog focused strictly on the wedding planning (from a groom’s point of a view). 

Posting on 24Hansen will resume, but everything marriage-related will be posted on www.timetoelope.com.  So, definitely check it out.

For the last few months, I’ve been contemplating starting another ‘blog’ aside from this one. While I do enjoy 24Hansen, it’s my personal realm where I share everything and anything that I stumble across — links, movies, music, etc. I also enjoy ranting here about my daily fights with Comcast, Lowe’s, and various other companies.

But my hesitation with a new ‘blog’ is that I’m afraid that I will not keep up with it. Perhaps to get things rolling, I’ll just discuss my idea a little bit further.

My entire life, I’ve lived in New Jersey — so why not present various aspects of it? Mainly, I’d love to discuss the many restaurants throughout the state (hell, there was a tv show done on great NJ diners). I’m not looking to be a food critic or anything like that. My fiance and I just love to enjoy quality food, so why not share our love with others? I’d also like to share various spots (sight-seeing, hangouts, bars, etc) throughout the state that we enjoy. I’m sure I would also be posting various news items that pertain to New Jersey.

I don’t have much time between work and SongMeanings, but my fiance and I make it to various restaurants at least once a week. So then, at the least, I’d be able to make an entry pertaining to one restaurant per week. We’re also going to be looking for places to hold our wedding reception — why not use that as entries as well?

We’ll see how this goes. Ten bucks that it never gets off the ground.

Now, what would be a good name for this site?
