First Attempt

Here I am with a soapbox of my own. There are not a few of my family and friends who would shudder at that piece of news. Not that I am opinionated, but they would tell you that I have one on any topic and will share with or without invitation. Why this sterling quality doesn't endear me to everyone is beyond me. I am no woman of mystery. What I think is usually streaming out of my mouth. I will admit that I was nervous of giving this blogging thing a try. I was convinced that I would arrive at a blank screen with a blank mind and that is how it would remain. We will see. Stinking Billy, it is all your fault.
