Despite the derision of my previous post some three years ago, I've decided to rejoin the blogosphere; not because I believe that I have something that others need to hear but more because writing fulfills a need in me and helps me to relax and process the things I encounter. The act of publishing something - regardless of how many people will read it - gives one a certain sense of achievement and removes one from the realm of the critic to that of the potentially criticized. It is far more courageous.
