My First Post

Okay, I think I am going to try the blogging thing. I'm not sure how long this will last, or if it will be any good, but we'll see. I have had a love/hate relationship with blogs so far. I have seen good ones come and go, but mostly I have seen bad ones stick around for a long, long, time. I think that was the real issue discouraging me from giving it a shot.

I think I will use the blog to muse about life, both in and out of my profession. I will always be civil, and my commentors will be as well, otherwise they will be booted. All of my postings to other blogs and message boards have been using my own name. I detest anonymous postings of rumor, innuendos, and flagrant insults. That said, I also believe in free spech.

I already feel like my first post isn't going as well as I would like it. Oh well, maybe this will get better over time.

FYI - I will not take any guff from Bill Dennis for using blogger instead of blogpeoria. I don't have one of the email addresses you need to qualify, and I'm not opening another one just for that reason. I'm also curious to see how long it will take for Peoria's "Blogfather" to figure out what I am up to, because I ain't gonna tell him.
