Welcome

Although there isn’t a title for my blog yet, I decided to finally start. I am hoping the title will come as an epiphany as the blog takes shape, right now it seems to just be spurred by what I am reading and thinking. Undoubtedly, since I have so much on my mind, my entries will be long and frequent in the beginning; they will then fade like the length of day in the winter.

I will be upfront in the beginning. I am not going to pay super close attention to grammar. The two-fold reason is that this blog is not for you, it’s, in all my selfishness, for me. Secondly, I don’t want to focus on the end product and get caught in the trappings of trying to obtain that which is beyond my reach – perfection (though I hope it will be readable. Should the readability be suspect, please leave a note).

Finally, besides commenting that I think Doogie Howser was the first blogger, please don’t use my blog as an excuse to think you know what is going on in my life. Don’t just read a script and cast it aside when done.

Way to go, Al! I won't let this be an excuse to not actually stay in "real" contact with you, as long as you promise the same for me.

that would be silly. everybody knows one can only write and reflect well when his/her lowest.
