About Me

Hmm. Well, I’m supposed to be working (isn’t that how all blogs get created anyway?) … but instead I am doing this. I am debuting myself to the internet world for the first time since a web site experiment sometime around 1998.

I think I shall start with a little information about me and my favorite things:
