Hello World

I've been on Twitter for awhile and sometimes felt that 140 characters just wasn't enough. Then I started reading The Secret Life of a Grown-Up Brain and I was inspired to blurt out opinions on a blog. I hope to add something weekly for the 6 months before and after my 50th birthday then we'll see what happens. I'd like my posts to be a little longer than this one  but this is enough for now.
