here it is

Okay, here it is. A blog . . . my blog.

I haven't seriously considered blogging before now because I don't always trust my self-editing skills (in the PR sense: content, not grammar). I really have no ability to be disingenuous; expressing what I think when I think it comes pretty naturally. This personality feature occasionally gets me into trouble, but I think is generally a blessing and not a curse. Anyway, consider yourself forewarned and know that consensus with my opinions is not a requirement for being my friend.

In the unlikely event that I run for or hold public office, please don't use anything written here against me :-)
