Shameless self-promotion

I've been looking through old documents on my computer, and discovered something about myself.  I'm a pretty darn good writer.  I occasionally have deep thoughts that work their way out in written form, and I would be remiss if I denied the world at large the opportunity to benefit from my ponderings.

I'm not as witty as Dr. Jeannie Killian, or as prolific or published as Tom Weller, but I express myself well, and at times can offer insightful, witty, sarcastic, and slightly deviant commentary on any number of topics, relevant to one degree or another to someone somewhere.  I'm not a preacher like Dr. Phil Nordstrom or The Right Rev'd W. Nicholas Knisely, or a poet like my lovely and talented little sister.  My undergraduate business communication professor said I write like a lawyer.  I tend to use long sentences, with complex structures, conveying detailed information and observations with impeccable grammar, but questionable style.  (The preceding sentence was far too short to be illustrative.)

Nevertheless, some of you may find my ramblings relevant, worthwhile, entertaining, or challenging in one or more important dimensions, so I am launching this blog for those of you that find my writing too dense for Facebook, which will no longer be subjected to the full textual burden of my literary profusion.  If I want a specific friend to read a particular post, I'll tag you when I link to it on Facebook, or email it to you.  All I ask is that none of my readers adopt a 2nd Amendment solution if my 1st Amendment exertions end up exercising your limbic system to an uncomfortable level.

Welcome to my world, friends, neighbors and NSA analysts!
