Beginnings

This is my entry into the world of blogging. Up until now, it's all been in my head. It may be that I'll decide it would have been better left there; we'll see.

Oddly enough, it was the Iraqi blogs (riverbend, salam pax and others) that encouraged me to begin. I guess that's "how 9/11 changed my life" -- through a domino topple of events. I'll be speaking more about that, certainly.

But on another topic, brought up by the phrase in the description of this blog: I miss Douglas Adams. It's too sad to contemplate that there will never be another Dirk Gently or Hitchhiker book. (I miss Johnny Cash, too. Though I think I'd have liked to know Douglas Adams in person; I'm not sure about the Man in Black.)
