In The Beginning . . .

It takes more than my fingers and toes to count the number of reasons that have prevented me from doing a blog or something similar earlier. Prime among them are probably job and kids. I thought of carrying around a notebook in which to scribble down my ingenious thoughts, brilliant ideas, and disbelief at the sheer quantity of stupidity exhibited in this world. But what fun is that if nobody can read my notebook (or handwriting)?

It's going to take a while until I get this going into a steady stream. There is so much running around in my brain right now, both current stuff going on in my life, as well as news, events, and things of interest from the past that I keep meaning to pass along. For instance, did you know that Costco now sells caskets (on-line for delivery only - how would you get it in your car anyway)? Don't believe me? Check it out here.

I expect that maintaining a weblog is both cathartic and somewhat egotistical. Consequently, I expect that some of these posts will be witty & charming or sensitive & insightful, while others will be pure drivel. Hey, it's not like you're paying for this . . .

So thanks in advance for reading what will follow. Your comments are welcome.
