Joining The Fun

Greetings, and welcome to my blog!

After considerable contemplation, I've decided to join the blogosphere and see where online journaling takes me. While I tend to be a no-holds-barred, open-book sharer with those close to me, I am admittedly more reserved with folks I don't know well. A likely consequence of my mild cynicism and a frequent regression to the childhood lesson, "Don't Talk To Strangers." Furthermore, even in today's egocentric, impatient, and overly-connected world, I have never understood why other people might actually care what I have to say on such a public forum. In my view, my commentary is no more or less valuable than anyone else's, so what exactly is the point of keeping track of my thoughts and musings in a place where outsiders can not only access them but also interact with them? I figure there is no better way to answer that question than to give this blog thing a whirl and see what happens.

Check back often for updates. Questions, comments, and topic suggestions are always welcome.

Thanks for reading.
