MoCo Council president launches blog

January 8, 2008

I’m guessing Montgomery County Council President Mike Knapp is a basketball fan.

It’s a reasonable guess because the name of his new blog, launched Monday, is “Starting with the Socks,” after a concept dreamed up by former UCLA basketball coach John Wooden.

Knapp’s explanation:

Each year at the first practice of basketball season, [Wooden] would sit down with his entire team – even if they were all seniors who had played for him before – and would teach them the proper way to put on their socks. His thought was this…. If the simple issues were adequately addressed, then the more complex challenges could be tackled.

So, too, Knapp believes the blog will allow him a venue to communicate even simple things to citizens of Montgomery County.

As a fellow blogger and Montgomery County resident, I wish him good luck.
