After months of tortuous deliberation, weighing the benefits, considering the time commitment and figuring out what I would possibly write about I have succumbed to the allure of the mighty blog. Although I may forever be my only reader, I’d like to take this first blog to apologize in advance of my inevitable lack of political correctness. I, like many of my species, suffer from chronic foot-in-mouth disease. I can’t promise if you read these mental meanderings you will never be offended. However, you may occasionally be entertained or informed and isn’t that the best anyone can hope for?
