New Blogger in your midst
BLOGDOM, and its principalities. Many might get the idea that I'm a seasoned veteran at this, but really I've only been at it for just over a month now, and while I have enjoyed the writing and the reading, I have come to some conclusions about BLOGDOM. And I use the term pointedly here rather than...

BLOGS ARE CANDLES IN THE JUNGLE OF THE NET!
For todays "take" I will draw as my metaphor the candle buds young Simon from William Golding's novel Lord of the Flies finds on the first exploration of the island.

Hey! This IS fun! Like sin! Only less calories...
Well, it's been a couple of days now since I started blogging, and since I'm like the new kid on the block, I thought I'd take a few moments to set down my thoughts on the process...
