Having never really read a blog before tonight, nor being that excited about the prospect of a diary, the concept of me starting a blog more or less fell into my lap as I was reading some random article about the joys of blogging. So here I find myself, setting up my first web log. I will use this much as I would assume others out there use theirs: that is, a sounding board for myself. So if you are reading this, I appreciate your time, and hopefully I will be able to submit to you something worth reading. And if what I write happens to be daft and vacuous, please feel free to place me on the public dais for scrutiny and embarrassment. Thank you, and enjoy.
