So, I am taking a short break from my job as a trusty foundation officer to post my first real entry. I have started this blog as a way of writing, everyday. I have had lots of people tell me I should write. OK, not lots, but a few, and they were people that mattered, and I have never quite been able to make myself get into a disciplined habit of putting ideas into words on a regular basis. I think I could do a better job at it than I do. Plus, all the aging liberal intellectual types in my office all have blogs, so I figure I can have one too. So there.
