Well, it’s been a while since I created this blog. I’m not quite sure what I should be doing with it. I had originally intended to write here almost the same way one would write into a diary. That would give me a type of relief valve, someplace to unload thoughts and feelings that I need to talk about, but have no one with whom I can share them.

If I did that, though, it would seriously limit the scope of my web site. I certainly would not want to give the keys to my inner soul to everyone who stumbles across my site. I’m not ashamed of my feelings or of what’s going on inside what passes for my brain, but some things are personal, and I think it’s in bad taste to share things that are too personal. It would attract only those who slow down to look at traffic accidents.

So, for now, I think I’m going to keep this on the lighter side, and chronicle some of the mileposts in my life, however small and insignificant they may seem. If I get a bit personal from time to time, that’s not the end of the world, but I’d like to stay mostly upbeat.

What is it they say? When you smile, the world smiles with you. When you cry, you cry alone. Absolutely true.
