I. Introduction

This is my - I don't know- fifth or sixth attempt at blogging.  My last attempt was several years ago, before the necessity of earning a living began to press so heavily.  It presses still, but I have become more skilled at maintaining what I often hear called work-life balance.  In my case it means the living I earn comes more cheaply than before and that I consequently no longer have need of working every hour God gives.  

Though labels are much-derided, they can be useful in conveying quite a lot of information in a short amount of space.  I therefore confess to the following labels:

  • American
  • white
  • male
  • Catholic
  • conservative
  • Republican
  • lawyer
  • pharmacist
  • divorced
  • middle aged
  • bearded
I intend to use this blog as a place to comment on things that interest me.  Posts will be liberally flavored with attempts at sarcasm, humor, and straightforwardness.
