Now that I have been an official member of the blog community for a few weeks, I suppose I should open up and let you know a little more about myself.  I am sure many of you are clamoring for such details.  You strike me as the sort of folks who clamor.

During my budding blog career I will say many things, but I will not say these things:

1. “My primary regret from college is that I never took that year off to backpack around Europe.”
2. “Next year we will summer at the coast.”
3. “I missed the NFL playoffs last weekend because I was antiquing.”
4. “Tonight after work I’m just going to take a hot bath and then scrapbook for hours.”
5. “I texted until my thumbs bled the day Brad left Jennifer for Angelina.”

Not only do I have no interest in these particular activities, I am also philosophically opposed to forcing perfectly good nouns to act as verbs.
