To be honest, this blog is long overdue. Long before blogging became the in-thing, one of my most enjoyable pasttimes was making entries to what I will consider my journal. Now, understand, I did not own a brown, leather-bound book that I called a journal… My journal was, in fact, any blank sheet of paper or Microsoft Word document on which I expressed my thoughts, unfettered.

At some point in the late 1990s/early 2000s, again, before blogging became the fashion of the day, I compiled some of my more creative writing into a Web site, written in plain HTML, with none of the intricate complexities that underlie WordPress or Blogger. My site at that point was simply a collection of .htm files, sorted into such interesting categories as Rants, Journals, Philosophies,  Poetry, and Tales from Comlag. I might yet, to use the systems integration term, migrate those pieces from there to here.

Anyway, my hope is for this blog to be a sustained project… That I am never quite so bogged-down by the demands of Metropolitan life that I renege on my commitment to keep the blog alive…

To be honest with you, I am doing this for me as much as for you. For me, it will be a way to recount my daily and weekly experiences (which, you must understand, has a certain therapeutic effect)… For you, it could be a way to pass a few boring Saturday afternoons, right before the big night on the town, or it might serve as a brief reprieve from a hectic day at work.

 So, you see, it’s a win-win proposition. Return here often, will you?
