O.K., probably not the best
translation of Shakespeare. Still, it’s accurate. I write all day (if I’m lucky
and something else does not pull me away from the written word), and then I'm
expected to write more to tell the world that I’m alive, that I’m doing fine,
that I achieved something today? How is that fair? How is that just? This is
the reason most plumber's homes have leaky pipes… they fix pipes all day! When
they are off work, they want to relax with something that is not work.

At least, that's been my
justification for the past few years. But now I have a wonderful PR person,
Robin, who is buzzing in my ear, “Blog post. Blog post! BLOG POST!!!”

And if she wasn’t right, I'd
just ignore her.

But she is right, so I need to blog.
To tell the world that I'm alive. That I'm doing fine. That I achieved
something today.

So, while it may be sporadic in the
beginning, check back here from time to time. I'm going to make the commitment
to jot a few things down when I can.

To stop the buzzing in my ear, if nothing else.
