Thus begins a new journey

So now I have joined the world of the bloggers . . . it's not too scary thus far. I fear that I have nothing brilliant nor even anything terribly witty to share with you here today. But you will forgive me for that, I hope. In time I will find more to discuss with the world, but for now just rest assured in the knowledge that I'm joining the already overwhelming ranks of those who post their most personal thoughts to be read by a few trusted friends and random passers by. Now, at last, I have finished with this brief excursion. Perhaps you will breathe a sigh of relief that I've finally ended this rambling, or perhaps you will linger over my words and wish there were but more. Either way, my dear reader, adieu.
