I've gone and done it...

Yes, I have.  I've caved. And started a blog.

"Why?" You ask. And rightly so.  Well, for two reasons.  The first is that I've had a friend who has told me for years that I need to write a blog.  My biggest reason not to was that I couldn't get my email updates out often enough, so who was to say I'd ever get around to actually writing a blog... something I have no way of knowing how many people will actually read.  Why spend time writing if no one will read it?  This was my "full-of-excuses" answer to my friend.  The second reason reminded me of the first, and taking the two together - that, and I kept coming up with blog postings while I was trying to fall asleep - made me decide that perhaps I should get myself writing on a blog.  The second reason was actually an event. A public transport story, to be precise.  And as I was traveling by myself, I had absolutely no one to share it with, no one with whom I could dissect the finer points of the experience.  After returning home from that particular trip I decided there really is much to share that just doesn't get placed in those few and far between email updates I write and that those stories really do need to be placed out there in cyber-space.  You know, just in case someone actually does read them during all their free time at work...

So there you have it. I'm starting a blog.  And never fear, the public transport story will be shared. Trust me.
