In the beginning...

This is my initial blog posting (ever!! what planet have I been on??)...

Perhaps I could blame this on my son-in-law. At any rate he planted the most recent seed, by suggesting that I begin a blog, with some suggested content...

Okay, let me get to the nub of the problem for me. Isn't there really a virtually bottomless narcissism at the core of a blog? Namely, the assumption that numerous fellow humans will be fascinated with the productions of your grey matter on any and every subject.

Okay, full disclosure. I've read very few blogs, period. A couple here or there, such as an Iraqi guy writing a fascinating portrayal of life in Baghdad a couple of years ago.

So, the bottom line is that I'm a neophyte, running onto the playing field of a sport I don't really understand or trust. Okay, that's an appropriate amount of cynicism to get this off the ground.
