In this my first blog posting ever I'll explain why the name. I've had a running disagreement with a friend half my age or so who is the king of all bloggers in my mind. My point to him has been that emails to individuals are tailored to an image of a particular person. They are meant to speak to that person and have within them the expectation of an answer. Blogs are buckshot, landing far and wide in sometimes unknown places. But the name I've given my blog reflects something related but different. I really don't believe that every thought I have deserves to be known, nor do I want to share it randomly. So why am I succumbing? Simple, I need to write and haven't been writing enough lately and my life in two worlds is so full, so often gratifying and fascinating that I've decided to blog as a kind of exercise routine with uncertain expectations .
