I first thought about blogging last week. I thought it would take me a year to decide to try it. I changed my mind. I have many who think this is a terrible idea. But I see real possibilities of profit: do this, or I'll write menacing truths. I'm hooked. If I can figure out how to make this work.



Reasons to blog:

1. I don't have to write long personal emails to friends who may or may not want to hear about why I haven't finished grading exams yet.

2. I can do this instead of grading exams

3. I can be added to my daughters' lists of "favorites" -- that just feels so good!

4. I can experiment.



Reasons not to blog:

1. Cs has grave reservations

2. I have mild reservations

3. I most certainly will regret at least 51% of my postings

4. I will feel compelled to write about legal things since this is what I am trained to do. But it will be tempting to write about non-legal things more.



Okay, let me try posting.
