brief introduction

This is the online equivalent of a blank notebook and pen. A word of caution: my notebooks, and they are numerous, remain largely the same as when they came into my possession, which is to say, blank. I am hoping that I do somewhat better with a keyboard and a blog editor. Nothing of import in this, the first post, mainly because I'm staring down the usual Monday morning obligations, and I really have no business sitting here, doing this. The weekend has drawn to a close.
