Just testing the waters

Humm....I suppose I should finally learn more about all this blogging stuff and what better way than to actually try blogging myself. I suppose this first post, in the light of a new day, is a better way to start than a gin-soaked entry filed in the dead of night. When I used to write, when I was young, the gin-soaked, cigarette-fueled entries were always the better ones, but also ones that should never -- and likely will never -- see the light of day, let alone the light of the Internet.

One evening, while drinking gin on my roof, I played around with creating a blog with the Macbook and it seemed relatively easy to post text and images. However, that attempt didn't make it past the closed walls of my hard drive. This posting is likely to actually be born, but I'm not sure how many siblings it will have, nor how often they will pop out.

Let's see, one of the things they (whoever they actually are) say when creating a blog, one should have a reason in mind for the blog to exist. I'm not sure that I do. A friend - a fashion designer -- blogs about life and fashion. Another - a retiree who camps -- blogs about life and camping. A third -- an English gentleman -- blogs about life and seeing it through English eyes that have weather more than one summer. I think my blog will have life in it some place. Who's life has yet to be determined: my life or the lives I witness around me or both.

For  now, I think I'm going to start with just me.
