Welcome!

Hello there, and welcome to my blog. I've been an admirer of my blogger friends for some time now, but never thought I'd join the club myself. I also never thought I'd end up in a little country town in Oregon with lots of free time to explore and contemplate, but here I am.

Isn't life full of surprises?

Before I get started, I'd like to give credit where credit is due. Tracey Abner, for being my bestie and introducing me to the world of blogging. Ms. Rachel Weis, who showed me the sunnier side of New York both through words and as my personal tour guide. And last but surely not least, Chrissy, whose optimism and spirit encourage me to be more awesome.

So here we are - on my blog (AH!). For starters, what a terrible word: BLOG. It reminds me of that old horror fim, I think it was called "THE BLOB". It's this terrible movie where this giant ball of muck goes around town enveloping everything in it's path: dogs, people, homes, the forest, etc... anyone know what I'm talking about?

Well, I don't want my blog to be a BLOB. So, let's call it something different: like my happy place (Billy Madison ref.), or my fasrah (yes, I just made that word up). Seems as though I haven't found a suitable alternative yet... any suggestions?

Whatever you choose to call this space: welcome! So far, I'm enjoying writing this shit. I hope you enjoy reading it. :-)

Come back soon now, y'hear?

peacefully yours,

miles
