I’ve approached the world of blogging with the same foot-stamping reluctance of Seinfeld in the “Puffy Shirt” episode.  “But I don’t want to be a blogger,” I’ve whined with increasing frequency as more and more people urged me to start a blog.  I’ve “yepped” and nodded my head, all the while confident that I would never enter that foreign world.   But when an Editor at Penguin flat out told me to that I needed a presence to get my writing noticed, I finally gave in.

So here it goes.  Bear with me as I crawl out from under the cozy warmth of my Luddite afghan and enter this world of “twitters” and “tags.”  In the immortal words of Bette Davis, “It’s gonna be a bumpy ride.”
