an introduction

    My friend Aron encouraged me to start a blog and put my thoughts down on binary. So, in what is a once every several years ritual, here goes. 

    I have very few promises to make concerning the nature of this blog. It's far safer to proffer ideas as to certain tendencies that I may follow as this vehicle takes shape. Safer still, I will give you a list of negative claims to start with.

    I can't promise that I will post frequently. I have made concerted efforts in the past to keep the interested world involved in my life through this medium-- and have failed to keep my end of the bargain.

    I can't promise I will be truthful. Occasionally I may attempt to bare my soul a tad. I can't promise that I will mean what I say-- which is, I think, distinct from being truthful. I'm not sure what I want from this blog. I'm not sure what it's purpose is. I hope that that will burgeon me forward rather than hinder me. Occasionally I might revel in my supple usage of English. From time to time I will almost certainly try to say something profound. I will check my comments with gusto when this happens.

    Editing is a new animal to me. Only the very recent past has borne witness to a Mitch who writes several drafts in the effort to refine my thinking on a topic, and to better clarify my expression of it. I don't intend that the writing on this blog will exhibit such efforts. Not to say that I won't edit-- write and rewrite sentences in the attempt to find better words for my thoughts. The real point of this blog, I think? is a somewhat free-form outlet for lose ideas that would otherwise get lost in my mental clutter.

One can only hope I can be concise.
