So, what's it gonna be?

What the hell does one blog about? Everything? More to the point, what the hell CAN one blog about? Answer: whatever it is that you blog about. So I'm going to do what most everybody else does and just think "out loud" via the computater and let it out in a jumbled mess.

Blogs are like everything else, a representation of the collection of ideas that we have banging around in our skulls. Then other people's collections of ideas come to be buffeted by them. It's all very abstract.

Anyway, there are a few things in my life that are worth writing about (as in everybody's lives). My main interests are Zen (a very difficult topic to talk about meaningfully), bikes (a bit easier), language (I LOVE foreign languages) and my lovely lovely wife (who gets mentioned last so that you'll remember her!). Ultimately all of this stuff (and ALL stuff universally) is connected, but I don't know how to fully extricate and expound upon it, so there will be a lot of cross-referencing to keep you entertained (or whatever). Also, there will be a lot of parenthetical references (because I like them).

I also like to play with language and I will doubtless make many totally deliberate and voluntary (and involuntary) typos, misspellings and grammatical catastrophes.

This is kind of like a manifesto, only it's not. It's also a definitive and vehement statement (or something, whatever). It's at once a warning and an excuse for my expression! How versatile of me!

Finally, it's a total MESS. How can you read this? Are you reading it? Are you hungry? I am, Ima (oh! there's one!) go to the grocery and all that.

Flappy Thanksgiving?

What better way to spend a family-type holiday than opening a blog and then blogging in it?
