Well, here it is. Following various discussions with various friends regarding the ins, outs, and social role of blogs, blogging, bloggers, and blog readers, I've decided to accept the dares and challenges of those who would see me blog (you know you are), take the bull by the horns, and create my own damn blog. I'm not quite sure what form it will take, and I'm not sure how often I'll post, what I'll talk about (or what I'll hold back), or if it will even keep my (or anyone else's) interest past 3 full posts. Those details remain to be seen. For now, there's nothing really to say - only that this blog exists. And that the whole endeavor has me rather giddy.
