Introducing.....

Hello! I’ll bet you’re wondering who we are? (Maybe not. Maybe you just stumbled upon our conversation & aren’t that interested. Well, you’re here now so you might as well keep reading.) In terms of the great blogdom, we’ll usually be referred to as Ferris and Cameron. To make things clear, this first post, our first joint venture into the blog word, we’ll use our real names. Without knowing that, you’ll never “get” Shen.

Individually we are Jen & Shell. Many years ago (so many in fact, that neither of us find it comfortable to discuss), a good friend of ours was looking at her and asking me a question. Because using both sides of his brain was difficult at the moment, out came “Shen”. The simple combination of our two names. It is important (to us) that we were Shen long before Angelina and Brad were Brangelina. Just makes us that much more cool don’t you think? Humor us, please.

We are old friends, reconnecting after a hiatus. When it comes to our lengthy, often emailed conversations, we've picked up right where we left off. We share a common sense of humor and listening to us talk can sometimes be akin to a night a The Ice House. Together we have great timing. But we’re not limited to laughs. We’re both introspective and appreciate that life is more than the passing of time. We understand that we are here to learn and make a difference. Those conversations can be as enlightening as the funny ones are hilarious.

This blog will allow you to become a fly on the wall. Enjoy the random, silly, thought provoking world of Shen for a while. We welcome your comments. Just don’t land in my food or buzz in my ear.
