An Explanation and Apology

I have been asked, "Why do you want to blog?" Well, actually, that's not an entirely accurate quote. More precisely, it went something like: "You blog? Hah!" I feel that I must respond in the most rational of ways, something with which I am not entirely familiar.

I have chosen the 'blog' format, because most of my friends (and I have at last count, more than a very few) would probably not respond well to the 'rant' format.

As most of you...or rather BOTH of you are aware, I seldom know what I'm going to say next. Consequently, most of my friends...again, I speak in the plural here, since at least two of you have indicated a willingness to cop to it...what was I talking about?

Oh yes. I tend to free-associate. And all of my readers...so far numbering myself and a few alter-egos...are well aware of and accepting of that tendency. So, if I 'rant,' I might be judged a typical mad-person. But if I 'blog,' my opinion counts for something. Or so I've been told by my myriad admirer.

Therefore, I will blog, as do many of my more clear-thinking associates. But you may consider it a rant when you consider the source. It will tend to be humorous, because I truly think I'm funny...though some say funny in the head. I say, "Where else?" I will likely be a bit spotty with my posts, since I always wait for inspiration. And as we all know, inspiration arrives on the Metrolink at 6:09 and I generally miss it. For all this and the more to come, I apologize in advance.
