Inaugural Post – Why Do This

I thought it would useful for me to outline what I want to accomplish by making this blog.

I plan to start taking a more public profile — professionally and personally.   Some of that will be on existing sites — LinkedIn (for professional bio and recommendations);  Facebook (for friends, who will see a broader range of what I share);  Plaxo (out of loyalty); and a few others.   I’ll post most of my professional work elsewhere, specifically Nodal Partners or Director Extraordinaire.

But I’ll keep this for mainly personal stuff — observations that have no “purpose,” some memories that probably mean nothing except to the people involved (or maybe my family), and mini-essays that will help me form and express some views that, broadly, are social, political, spiritual or simply personal.

I don’t know where this goes…   but … here goes!
