When I was young and foolish, I used to write letters to newspapers and magazines. I stopped when I became middle-aged and started drowning in a cesspool of corporate politics. Now that I’m old and foolish (some things never change) I have decided that blogging is the way I’m going to scratch that itch.

I really do like to “hear myself talk”. In fact, I read my own blogs over and over. It’s one of the most fun things I do these days. When I was young, I was a master debater. Now I’m just a debater, but I think I get just as much fun out of it.

I REALLY wish more people knew about your blog, Dan (as you know). This is GOOD STUFF. I know you enjoy writing it, but still, thanks for writing it. I enjoy reading it – and sharing it when appropriate (when I come across someone who expresses an interest in something you’ve written about) .
