About this blog

Me at around 6 months of age

I think a short note about what this blog is going to contain is in order.

This blog is my voice to the world, where I get to talk about things that I think are interesting. With any luck, you too will find these things interesting. This is also where I will present pictures that while being decent pictures, are not really portfolio material, but have a story to go along. I also hope to be a voice of reason in what appears to be kind of a crazy world out there.

I am going to write about things I know, have experienced, read about, heard about, etc. I am a reasonably intelligent person who as a young man thought I knew a lot. As I have gotten older, the main thing I have learned is that I do not know much at all.  One of my qualities that I am proud of is that I can see and hear new information with an open mind, and if the new information warrants it, I can and will change my paradigm. I was a debater in high school and learned to look at both sides of an issue, view the evidence, and argue either side without qualms. I fear this is becoming a lost ability in our society.

The long and the short of it is I hope you will follow this blog and enjoy it!
