A New Beginning

I don’t know what there is about sitting down and starting a blog that strikes fear into the heart of man. OK, maybe not fear, but at least, “writer’s block.” Not so much from what to write, but "Where to begin, where to begin? So many targets, so little time..."

I was glad to see that I was not alone in this regard. One of my favorite bloggers, Bob Smith at No Force, No Fraud, in his July 27, 2005, post makes pretty much the same point.

I know where I want to go, but what is the best way to get there with the resources at hand? So, I guess since I’m having to learn as I go--I have to learn HTML? What the heck is that?--the best thing to do is get something on the scoreboard, learn the ropes and try to improve as I go. You'll have to be my judge on how well I do.

I'm not new to the Internet. I have been on many forums, both local and national. But time constraints have limited my involvement in online discussions. And email has opened up a new side of me that I hadn't know existed. I never used to write paper letters. But these "electron letters" are great. So I try to maintain an active email correspondence as well. Although some would complain not as active as they would like.

In any case, there are still many things that I want to say, things I need to get out. This seems like the way to do it.
