My first post! I should say something, I dunno, momentous. Scintillating. Interesting, at least.

However, I've just spent the evening playing around with setting up this whole bloody website, and I'm freakin' TIRED. I believe I'm fresh out of scintillating, and interesting is looking kinda shopworn, too.

Momentous, however, is somewhat doable. Tomorrow (well, in about an hour, I guess), I turn 50. Yes, really. And I'm looking forward to it. Yes! Really! For one thing, now I can be eccentric instead of just weird.

This blog needs smilies.

Anyway.

I was supposed to be in Spain this week to celebrate My Big Day. Alas, for various reasons, I am stuck stateside instead. So instead of soaking in a Moorish bath in Granada and sipping Moroccan mint tea, I'll be working as usual, and going out to a tapas place in Crystal City for dinner. It's okay, really. I still get to go to Spain, just not 'til March, and the weather will be better then anyhow.

So, welcome. Let's hope the rest of my posts aren't such a downer.
