And so it begins....

After one earlier failed attempt, tonight marks my (re)entry into the blogging world.  For years, I have kept a personal written journal and now I join the 21st century by sharing my thoughts in this more public forum.  While far more censored, I look forward to sharing personal thoughts, memories, hopes and maybe a few dreams (dare I?) with you, my readers.   I also look forward to hearing from you and the exchange of ideas that only something like electronic communication may permit: open for interpretation; without interruption; time for thoughtful reflection.  So...here we go.  Thanks for coming with me on my journey.  I may not be as witty as other bloggers out there...but I'll do my best!
