A blog at last

I've decided to start a blog, at long last.  Nothing extravagant, but just somewhere to share my rambling thoughts with anyone who cares to stop by.

Of course in the past I've had journals and other such things, but these were youthful fads. This might, I think, last longer and serve as a platform to share more interesting material than those journals ever contained.

Topics covered may become quite broad, ranging from my casual interests to matters that I consider professionally relevant.  I may at times become philosophical, as is my wont, so I hope I will be excused that and other flights of fancy.

Welcome, readers and friends, to my blog.
