The Launch

Well, I suppose it's time for me to set myself adrift in the world of blogging.  Let me be right up front and say that I'm doing this mostly for me.  I intend it as a place in which I can line my ducks in nice, neat rows, and thereby free up some much needed head space.  Thus the title.


My name is Paul.  I am married to a wonderful girl named Jennifer, and have the best dog on the planet, Zedd.  Since I've already stated I'm doing this mostly for me, though, and I already know all this part, I'm going to move along.  This first post is basically someplace from which I can launch.  That one, small statement, though, begs a rather sizable question.  What, in fact, am I launching?  My thoughts will be varied, on that you can bet, both deep and shallow (sadly I expect more of the latter than the former), and intermittent.  I may end up posting on this blog two or three times every week, or I may end up going months between posts.  I definitely think that early on, it'll be more frequent, but I can't promise anything as time progresses.


Subject matter will be restricted to whatever is on my mind at the time I decide to reclaim some head space.  Which is to say, it won't be restricted much at all.  My mind is equally at home flitting from subject to subject, or dwelling for long stretches on one minute detail.  You get what you get with me, and for that, you have my deepest sympathies.  I know that we'll be dealing with theology, as that is the subject that has finally pushed me off the fence on starting a blog.  We'll also be dealing with sports, weather, travel, food, animals, adoption, relationships, aging, video games, movies, TV, books, info sec, diabetes, holidays, and a partridge in a pear tree, because...well...those things are me.  So, feel free to drift along with me if you like, or not.  Either way is fine with me.  You can also come and go as you please; coming along for a while and then going off to explore your own wonderings (spelled with an O intentionally) for a while.  I plan on still being here...we'll see, won't we?
