After much contemplation about what to do with all the opinions and impressions that have accumulated in my head, I've decided to start spilling my "wise" thoughts into something organized that could be later read either by me or somebody else, who would, by some miracle, be interested in what I have to say. I am not envisioning a large audience swirling around this site, but it would be nice if at least my kids would find my thoughts to be interesting.
