Introduction

Hey there everybody
Please don’t romp or roam
We’re a little nervous
‘Cause we’re so far from home
— “Introduction” written by Terry Kath

Introductions can be a little awkward, especially in my case.  I’m Dave, and I’ve decided to try my hand at the blogging that The Kids are all doing.  I have no idea how this is going to turn out, so the first few posts should be interesting (and I hope in a good way) … I will try to keep the screeds to a minimum, but I can make no promises.

I hesitate to call myself a “Renaissance Man,” but my interests are many and varied; I adore music, and am something of an amateur musician (I expect I may explore this subject further in subsequent posts).  I’ve been a reader since I was young, and there are few things I enjoy more than a book sale or an afternoon at the library (on the rare occasions when I have time).  I’ve been something of a follower of politics for a number of years, but given the rancor and lack of goodwill in the mainstream of political discourse, I’ve more-or-less given up talking about it.  That said, there’s no guarantee I won’t go on the odd political rant now and again.  You’ve been warned.

I have two or three ideas bouncing around in my head for my first *REAL* post (which I expect to post the first week in August, if not before).  I’m aiming for a biweekly schedule, at least at first.  Whether that’s ambitious or not, only time will tell.  WATCH THIS SPACE.

Now we put you through the changes
And turned around the mood
We hope it’s struck you different
And hope you feel moved
So forget about your troubles
As we search for something new
And we play for you
