I feel the urge to write, but I'm not yet sure what I'll end up posting.  I suppose sometimes it happens that way.  All I know right now is the irresistible urge to put something down in words, and that's good enough for me.

I've been doing a lot of thinking recently -- when am I not? ask yourself this -- and have decided that, at least for the

Well, goodnight my friend. Take it easy. Remember to breathe.
