Thus my blog is born

And I can already feel the format changing my prose. Somehow to blog I must be cool, I must be in some sense tragic and edgy. Never mind that the word "blog" sounds like the sort of mishmash sound that one makes when suffering from a nasty headcold. Well, I shall defy the pressure to be cutting edge, or any more tragic than necessary. I shall be the dork amongst the cool, forging ahead into the chilly waters, leading my nerdy pack in safety, like good King Wenceslaus (good gravy, I spelled that right on the first try!) in the snow. Join me, o dorky ones, o lovers of peeps and non-fiction "fun reading!" Ye who look things up for fun, they that prepare for book club meetings via wikipedia, welcome!
