This is my first foray into the brave new world of blogging, so everyone take a deep breath and be a little patient. It'll be a learning experience for all of us.
What compels me to write a blog? It might have something to do with fighting against the urban sprawl of Chicago, with it's soulless strips malls and suburban sense of entitlement. SUVs with soccer Moms behind the wheel....
It may have something to do with the fact that after 40+ years, I may want to get a few things off my chest. Why wait until you are old and grey, waving your fist at the sky and spouting off to strangers on the street? Wave your fist at the internet and yell at strangers in cyberspace instead!
It may also be that given my strange life, strange friends and stranger family that there may just be a story or anecdote to brighten your day or make you laugh.
