Welcome new batch of readers!

So I posted the url for this blog on facebook today...then began gnawing at my knuckles in fear.  Until now, I've been writing here mostly for myself and a few others.  Blather -- yes.  A lot of it.  Now with a whole new crop of readers I have to write a bit more...focused.  That's OK, really.  I need this kind of pressure if I'm to express myself clearly and succinctly, and in a way that makes you, my readers, crave more.  What if I were to offer chocolate?
