My First Blog Post

If at first you don’t succeed….so much for skydiving.

I have always liked writing emails to people – which sounds weird, I know. For me, it is like writing a letter – something people used to do but do not do anymore. I used to look forward to getting letters, and I enjoyed writing the replies – trying to think of ways to write about what I was thinking or what was happening in a way that was interesting, or funny – or at least, not boring as hell. Writing something funny, or interesting, or at least not boring as hell – that seems to me a laudable goal for any writing project. Anyway, welcome to my first blog.
