Ah, here I am in the blogosphere after several rushed and halfhearted attempts over the last year to create a blog and then flaming out after hitting a technical wall. I’m still technically a blog virgin, despite the foreplay, because I really don’t know how all this works. But I do like to read blogs and find that recently I’m wasting much of my life reading blogs. When I’m not moving around the planet on planes, trains, automobiles, taxis, shuttles, pedi-cabs and other modes of transportation, I spend much of my life reading. Now, I can read and write!

Thank you Greg Campbell for giving me the big kick I needed.

So. Where do we go from here? I suppose I will sputter and spurt at first beforeI really get going. I don’t have a well-formed plan for this blog except to say that it will serve as writing therapy for me – to get out all the thoughts, ideas, and stories that have been rattling around and collecting in my brain, heart and body for so many years. Yeah. OK. I’m ready. let’s go!
