This should be interesting...

My cousin, Hannah, suggested to me that I should start a blog when we were together with the family for Thanksgiving, and I haven't been able to get the idea out of my mind since.  I write my family's Christmas letter every year and several people have suggested that I write more than our annual letter, but I usually just meet their compliments and suggestions with a smile and a "thank you" without any serious reflection on their comments (this is not to say that I do not appreciate them).  I guess if enough people think I should continue to write, it's worth a try on my part.  So, I may just be indulging my narcissism by expecting people to read what I post, but at the least it will provide a new form of procrastination for me that is slightly more intellectual than playing games on msn.com.

I hope you enjoy my "crumbs of consciousness" as much as I enjoy doling them out!
