Hello World

Here's my very first post to my brand new blog.

It seems everyone has a blog — my brother-in-law has one, his brother has one, as do many of his friends. Last week at my nephew's birthday party, my brother-in-law's Mom talked about the fact that she has posted stuff to both of her son's blogs. And that was the straw. I knew then that I had to "get out there."

Please don't expect a daily dose of profundity from me. As you might infer from my profile, I'm busy with life. But occasionally, you might find here an intellectual nugget of gold. Maybe once or twice a month or so. And I'll be doing a good bit of linking to articles I've found or others have pointed me to and to books I've read which I believe every other human on the planet should read as well.

Let's get started.
