At the request of a few friends, I have finally decided to create this blog. For years, I thought that blogging was a bit amateurish or a bastion for the self-absorbed. However, some of my friends are now scattered across the planet in odd places, and I would rather keep in touch via blog than the frantic environment of facebook, twitter or my slave driver of an email address. And I haven't the time to write to people as much as I would like to.
Regarding my writing: I've had a few friends request a novel or book of short stories. But fiction writing is not where I would want to go. I think Allie Brosh has writing nailed in Hyperbole and a Half: a composite of memories and personal stories with the flourish that only a sense of humor can provide. If I can emulate her style without infringing on copyright, then that's super.
Anyways, to my peeps near and far, here I am.
