Inaugral Post

My Eldest Niece, whom I treasure, keeps several blogs. Discussing her efforts reminded me of how much I loved to write when I was a kid. I took to reading immediately as a child and was writing short stories when I was still in the single digits. 

As I wrote the preceding paragraph, I had to fight down the urge to add "terrible, of course" to the mention of my childhood writing. The whole point of this blog is that the outcome of the writing doesn't matter. The act of writing itself was a joy and I can't remember when or why I surrendered that joy. So. Thanks to Eldest Niece, I'm reclaiming this joy.
