As good as any place and time to start this…

Well, hello there. What?s this? A blog. Why? Not sure. For whom? Me to write, you to read…that?s ?whom?.
Seriously though, this blog is my attempt, feeble as may ultimately be, to create an online diary of sorts. You might even call it a companion piece to my Diary of a Cartoonist podcast (iTunes), where I kinda let people into my personal life as a father, husband, and American dude on a regular basis. The big difference will be, this site is for READING! Remember reading? Reading is great.
But why now? I figure what better time than New Years Eve, 2009. I?m about to head out into the foggy mist that is 2010, and I?d like to do it with this new blog in tow. I?ve found over the years that the best way for me to be consistently doing something I need to do, my best bet is to put it on the internet, have people expect it regularly, and force me to follow through on my commitment to self, country, and Zeus.
Enough about all that…you know what I?m doing and why you might wanna be here. If you?ve not left yet, then continue on with the point of this post with me, won?t you?
