I really have no excuse for taking this long to join the zillions of bloggers out there. I have some experiences to share, some music, some poetry. And I am a firm believer in the hilariously explosive zillion-to-zillion overpublishing of the blogosphere. Let us all share our gold, our dross!

So may I follow through with steady posting, daily rants and discoveries, and the journal of my life. If for no other purpose or audience, then for my kids, for whom I expect to have become inscrutable once I am gone.

Kids, you may eventually be able to figure something out about me by digging through this detritus. Far more fruitful, I expect, than digging through my junk drawers.

But the flip language hides something more interesting, and worth exploring in later blogs: why did I procrastinate for so long? Especially for something so straightforward and enjoyable?  Because of old, negative childhood scripts about unworthiness, shame, whatever.

So, launching a blog — just launching it — can be a major accomplishment, even for a geek. It certainly was for me.
