Initiation

Blogs! The proliferation is astounding, and very few in all must be worth reading. So why start another?

First of all, I suppose that like many others I want the opportunity to express in my own voice. I do not hope for huge readership, but I do hope to be read. As I have benefited in little ways from others' blogs, I hope I may be of some benefit to at least a few others.

Also this seems to be a good method, and format, for working out one's own thoughts in front of an audience. Precisely because the size is unknown, it is possible, I think, to write to an audience without the fullness of the challenges that make being in front of an actual audience so daunting and so (comparatively) rare.

It is my intention to cover various subjects on this blog, all of which will probably be related to the life I experience. I am a husband and father, a son and brother, an employee and business owner, a well spouse and caregiver, a friend, an engineer, and tired :-).

So I hope that you find what develops here worth following and reading. I hope we gain some clarity and common ground together. And I hope we, and I especially, have a good time doing it.
