#1

O dear! Now that I've wasted an entire morning figuring out how to get this going, pestering friends and in general, making a nuisance of myself, I find . . . well, I find that I have nothing much to say. It's humiliating, really. Kind of like a blind date, only worse because I set it up myself. After all, no one asked me to . . . er . . . blog, a verb, by the way, I thought I'd never use and at which the school marm in me clucks her tongue. Still, there may be those moments, in the distant future, when I might have an insight which could be interesting to someone who is perhaps interested in writing for kids.

Well, yes. But the truth is that it's more likely to become the forum for my many crackpot notions on that topic. My wife says I shouldn't do it. "You're not discrete," she says. "You're sure to make somebody mad." She's right. But I hope not.

Okay, friends, I've taken the plunge. I'll be back in a day or two with more substance. Possibly. Maybe not. Now though, I want to do something useful. Like walk the dog.

Welcome to cyber space! Hop on the wild ride along the information superhighway! *chants* One of us, one of us...

I miss you and Lesley and generally doing creative things with my brain! I hope your blog inspires me to crack the writing whip once more on myself... that sounds kinky. No pressure! :-D

Yes, blog - a verb. Which makes you a blogger (noun) who needs to think carefully about which portions of his life are actually blogable (adjective). Sorry, but really – you brought this on yourself.

Two thoughts:

I am incapable of reading your blog without finishing this sentence: "Havisham's Cake... and eat it, too."

and

Are you REALLY going to number all of your posts? It might make my head pop off.

Welcome to the blogosphere (noun)!
