My people have spoken!

As I prepare for another international promenade, again among the Ancients, I begin another blog, not out of ego (I swear), but because my people have asked that I do so. I'm glad to blog (now that's an ugly verb) because it gives me a record of my adventures after I return and permits me to vent while I travel (which is especially important when traveling with the likes of Rick Wilbanks or any or all of the Marenchins). So enjoy. And when posting a comment, be sweet!
