Entree Into the Blog-o-sphere

It's Groundhog day, and I did it. I created a blog.

I've always wondered why people create blogs. Here are my top reasons:

- People are bored (though I would contest that there are lots more productive things to do with oneself other than blog).

- People want to be famous. (duh)

- People think they are smarter than they are and that the rest of us really want to read what they have to say.

- People like to have a permanent place in this world. This is also why we name buildings after people.

- People are weird. (you'll hear this theme from me a lot)

There's probably a plethora more, but I digress.

So, why am I starting a blog? I wanted to try it out. See what the craze is about. And, along the way, keep a record of my own musings for my children to amuse themselves with one day.

One last admission: I have failed miserably at similar efforts in the past...keeping up a slam book in middle school, writing about my teenage angst in a diary, pretending I was Felicity and recording myself, logging my travel adventures in a journal.

We'll see how this one works out.
