Hi.

Welcome to my blog.

Why a blog?  For a couple of years now I have been posting random thoughts to Facebook.  I have come to think that Facebook has some drawbacks and I am hoping this blog will be more suitable for my purposes.  On FB  I do not have the ability to explore in any detail the ideas that I post.  Even worse, the most common FB response to my postings is No Response.  Certainly, many of my netjaculations do not deserve a response, but sometimes there is no response because my comments have rolled off the screen even before they have been seen.  When a comment is noticed it may get a like, which is flattering but devoid of content.  What did you like about my comment? Do you agree with me completely or, in the more likely case, do you agree with part of my assertion and disagree with part?  When someone actually does respond to my post the response may be quite brief, dashed off on a cellphone at a traffic light or, worse, while driving.

The blog fits nicely in that slot between  Shot From the Hip and a casual email addressed To Whom It May Concern. 

I invite you to participate.  I am interested to hear your reactions to my thoughts.
