In the beginning...

... there was one more blogger on the Internet. "Why do this?" I ask myself the question. "Why sit on my rear and type out what could be seen as meaningless drivel?" Personal amusement? Another forum for confessing my sins? A desperate cry for help? Oh, I'm sure it's for all of those reasons and more. More than likely, I'm motivated by a need for something new in my life other than the next Thomas the Tank Engine dvd. (My son's show of choice.) Perhaps a blog will be the answer. Or it will be just one more vain attempt to overcome the mediocrity of my everyday life. Either way, it ought to be an interesting journey.

As Bette Davis famously stated: "Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night."
