Test Run

How did people ever communicate with one another in the days before the Blog? 

This is my first post, it may or may not remain over the course of time, because the purpose of this blog is not to announce to the world that, yes, I too am blogging now.  It seems to be the general trend with my friends to keep each other informed of our lives through this medium, and who am I to buck a trend?  I am no author, however, and so until I get the hang of this format, what I post here will probably be pretty boring.

 So get to the point already, will you?

I am going to begin a ten month adventure next month.  I will be out on the opposite side of the country serving that time with the AmeriCorps NCCC, and I hope it will provide me with enough worthwhile tales to weave here in cyberspace for all to see.  Besides, like my friend Lisa said, it will be easier to post here than to send out mass e-mails.  And, it will give all my friends something to look at in between clicks to Facebook and MySpace.

 Because we all need another excuse to waste more of our lives with the internet.
