First Post

On this day in history:

First Lady Eleanore Roosevelt born, 1884.
Author Elmore Leonard born, 1925.
Actress Joan Cusack born, 1962.
Actor Luke Perry born, 1967.

This blog born, 2006.

Now I don't expect to be as beloved as catsup and pickle mogul Henry Heinz (also born on this day, don't forget the theme that I'm quickly beating into the ground), but maybe somebody out there will be interested in my ramblings. If not, don't complain to me because there's no reason you should be taking the time to read this anyway.

I don't intend for this blog to record all my daily thoughts, or comment on current events, or provide much of a consistent source of anything at all. Mostly I'm too poor (or is it just cheap and lazy?) to actually take the initiative to launch my own website. Why not a blog instead. Soon I'll be posting my writings, my thoughts, maybe even my pictures - but no promises. This could be my last post, or it could be the first of many, many more.

So call this a mission statement of sorts, just without a mission.

Besides, if October 11 was good enough to give Jimmy Carter a Nobel Prize, and if it was good enough to found the Daughters of the American Revolution, then it's good enough for me.
