This is the first post on my new blog where I will be uploading occasional postings of my views and musings.  I do find Facebook so relentless in that it seems to hold you in it’s grasp for days at a time, and also makes life very difficult when you are trying to find those posts that have gotten lost in the mists of time.  So I thought I would start this blog and give myself something a bit easier to manage.  There is just a whole lot of stuff I want to write about and feel that Facebook is not the place to store it all really.  So Hello and here I go.
