This is the beginning . . .

Having never written anything of real importance (personal journals, kiddy Christmas book and mediocre writing contests, notwithstanding), the blog begins.

Some time back in 1995 I had two dreams that dealt with words:

(1) I dreamt that I wrote something amazing that started with the words "Having never . . . " (Just a couple of years ago I learned that those words were actually the future perfect tense. True.) I'd like to think that this blog is the fulfillment of that vision in my nodding off.

(2) I dreamt that I was in a rock band called Fearless, Fearless whose hit single was called "C.C. Camping Ground."

Hmmm . . . weird.

Anyway. I'm glad to begin. To write. To expand. To ultimately crap out a bunch of stuff that I'll probably regret or get all huffed up about.
