It's been too long

I've missed the simple pleasure of writing in my blog since my old Live Journal community fell apart. Once upon a time as my old friends started to go off to college, and "The Group" became more and more disparate, we all used blogs to keep informed about the goings on in our tight circle. For a time things were good but as time passed the posts got more and more infrequent, and I slowly got the impression that I was beginning to talk to myself. Fearing the onset of madness, even I, one of the most consistent bloggers, quit.

So, here I am now. Starting a blog. This is going to be different. Not simply because I am older, or because the surroundings are new, but because my focus this time around is new. As an IT Manager for Mountain View Mortgage, and a programmer for the last decade, I feel like I might actually have things to say that are of general interest and use. I know not yet who my audience may be, but I enjoy writing enough to find out by experimentation.

On that note I give you, the beginning...
