I'm really serious. I've stalked this blog for years, thinking about joining one day, and tonight I just realized if I didn't take the plunge it wasn't going to happen. So I'm very happy to be here.

For now, good night and thank you for everything you do to keep the dream alive. I'm looking forward to getting to know you in these pages.
