Initial Blather

Well, I've succumbed. I, who never wanted to have a blog, now have one. I, who always viewed them as narcissistic self-indulgences, am now part of the masses who feel compelled to note their every move for public inspection and review. Why did I do this? For work, to demonstrate my readiness to learn as well as my capacity to be bribed. What the hey, I've always liked doing things for extra credit so I guess this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, least of all to me. TTFN.
