Inaugural Post

I have been vacillating (and procrastinating) for a while about whether to start a blog. Reasons not to blog include: it seems presumptuous to act like people care to read all about me; it takes time; and I risk offending someone or writing more about someone or some organization than they would prefer that I share. Reasons to blog include: I can update many people about my life and thoughts and I can have a soapbox. Obviously I've chosen to blog, so please let me know whether you have any problems with what I write. I hope to have links and more interesting posts soon.
