Venturing Into the World of Blogging

Greetings Fellow Bloggers!

Well, I have finally done it...I have entered the 21st century. The phenomenon of blogging has spread like wild fire and I can no longer cower and resist this powerful urge to “blog.” This blog does not have a single topic of discussion. It is simply my musings on life, books, movies, current events, and whatever else strikes my fancy. I hope you enjoy and look forward to hearing what you think!
