      I have been enamored with the internet since my first logon countless years ago. My technological journey has been a pleasure, which is why I settled here--at OZARKATTITUDE.COM--in 2007.
       
      Maintaining a website is just like rearranging furniture. It is the only way to clean under the couch. One thing has never changed here at OZARKATTITUDE. The Arkansas Ozarks remains my muse...Carol Henrichs 
      I have been a writer for 20 years
      It was writing that allowed me to meet Barack Obama

      My work has been published primarily in newspapers in three different states: Illinois, Indiana, and Arkansas. I have done various other kinds of activities, such as opinion columns, ghost-writing, editing, and proofreading. I have often used photography to accentuate a story, and photography, and even some consulting. 

      I have also written and designed newsletters, slide presentations, and other business-related activities.

      ot only do I love writing because it has allowed me to learn new things and meet new people, but in the early 1990's, I had the pleasure of meeting a candidate for the U.S. Senate from Illinois--B
      arack Obama--who just a few short years later was sworn in as the 44th President of the United States.

      O
      nline writing has been satisfying for me because it keeps me writing on a fairly regular basis. I agree with the English poet Robert Southey who once said, "By writing much, one learns to write well." Therein lies my goal. I may not be there yet, but I keep trying. 

      I have enjoyed writing for most of my adult life. I find it to be both a learning and teaching too--one that I just can't seem to live without.

      The reason one writes isn't the fact that he wants to say something. 
      He writes because he has something to say...F. Scott Fitzgerald

      Visit my blogs

      I love to write. One of the first things I do every morning is turn on the computer. While I don't write a blog post every day, I try to maintain one of my three blogs at least weekly. My three blogs cover a wide variety of topics and interests.

      To visit one of my blogs, just click one of the links:
        CHBlog highlights a 20-year effort to halt the construction of an unnecessary new airport in the green fields south of Chicago, Illinois.

       
      CHMusings covers personal interests such as my love of quilting, gardening, photography, as well as political and social commentary. 

        CHonTrack is all about my favorite Sunday afternoon pastime--NASCAR--with an admitted partiality for Ryan Newman, driver of the #39 car.
