A Blog

Ah, a blog. That’s what I need in my life.

Well, maybe so.

As I reflect upon 2008, I realize no other year has given me more reason to want to write. It was a year of profound change for me personally. I started the year a single, childless man; I ended it married and with a daughter. Change indeed.

Politically and economically, 2008 produced more to talk and think about than any other recent year that comes to mind. Not only was it an election year, but the worldwide economy went into the tank. A spike in oil prices made us think about real energy changes for the first time in a long time. Change, both real and perceived.

I spent most of this year oscillating between elation and anger, depending on whether my attention was focused on home or the headlines. I often wanted to share my thoughts, and had no outlet other than my wife (who no doubt tires of my rantings) and daughter (who is probably entertained, but does not appreciate the quality of my rantings since she is not yet 6 months old).

Hence, a blog.

I’ll likely be all over the place subject-wise. Sci-fi/fantasy. Gaming. Politics. Sports. Religion. Random crap.

Or, I’ll post this one time and forget about it. We shall see.

This post is more or less a test post and a short intro. More blog to follow...
