Well, let's get this thing rolling...

Well, to start, this blog is to share various thoughts and ruminations on many things as they grab my attention. Unfortunately, I can talk extensively (VERY extensively, according to my wife) on quite a few subjects, but my only audience thus far has been my family....and my simple existence as the patriarch of the family is apparently has given them ample exposure to my thoughts on many matters. Perhaps TOO much exposure.

To introduce a little about me, I would guess one would need to know about the most recent life changing event that has shaped most of 2009 for me thus far.

One of the more politically correct descriptions for me is that I am a "victim" of the economic downturn. To be blunt, I was previously employed in an Information Technology line manager position with a Fortune 500 company, and I was laid off in November of 2008.

It was the first time in my then 39 years that any decision to end my current employment status had been made by anyone other than yours truly. Oddly, typing that very sentence brings home the impact of the event once more, even seven months later.
