here goes nothing

I’ve been unconvinced of blogs’ effectiveness in reaching a readership until recently, when I noticed how many people are doing it. It surprised me to realize who was “blogging,” (by the way, new words like blogging and tweeting crack me up) and that the subject matter was more than “Today I woke up and stubbed my toe on the nightstand. It was a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day.” So to jump on the bandwagon, I too want to share with whoever cares the thoughts and questions that pop into my head. I have to admit that I have pretty low expectations for anything I write to change someone’s life or make a difference in the world, but I like the idea of possibly continuing the conversations I have with friends or exposing some half-baked idea to you, whoever you are. So, please don’t take anything I say as anything more than a cyber version of verbal processing and, most of all, please contribute. I’d really like to hear what you think.
