Welcome to the blog, I guess

Hello to one and all!
Many of my friends have set up blogs or live journals over the last few years. I read them when I can, and every so often I think "I should get me one of those." Then I think "yeah, but when would I ever have the time to sit and write on it?" Today I figured, "what the hell, I might as well give it a shot."
So here we are.
I'll do my best to update this thing regularly--I'm aiming for once a week, though sometimes it may be more frequent. If I hit the point where I'm not updating at least once a month, I'll shut it down.
In the meantime, welcome. I'm hoping this'll give me a way to stay in touch with my friends and family more easily, as well as a chance to blather about anything that interests me, anything that's troubling me, and generally what's going on in my neck of the woods.
