Welcome to my blog

We watched Julie and Julia last night and now I am inspired to add my two cents to the world of bloggage. I am aware that my blog can be read by anyone at anytime, therefore I am reasonably sure that I can be careful enough not to write anything that can be compromising to anyone including myself. The good thing though is that I am old enough that if I should say something that is offensive to anyone, it won't be a national calamity.

I believe that the most challenging thing about writing a coherent blog is actually finding it to update it at a later time. In my blog I will attempt to comment on issues from the local, national and international stage. I believe my viewpoints are essentially consistent with the viewpoints of many reasonably intelligent Brooklynites.

I am up to discussing most if not all issues. If I do not have actual expertise in those topics, I will argue the matter out of what I perceive as common sense, at least the common sense of a 50+ year old left of the middle Democrat.
