Hello, all! First time blogger, long time reader. I've been inspired by my coworker Mike to start my own blog, just so we all know who to blame in the future. The whole blogging phenomena is intriguing to me. Why the hell would someone want to view my thoughts? Why the hell not?

I have to say, the pressure to be witty and hip is enormous. Please forgive the plebian vibe for the first couple of postings. I'll be putting up some of my photography work as well, be gentle...and enjoy!
