Why a Blog?

I have been looking at and reading blogs for about six months now and they fascinate me. It is a place to put your point of view, maybe some interesting information, and strike up conversations with virtual strangers. I thought, since I often have a soapbox to climb up onto, why not join the world of bloggers and add my voice to cyberspace. It does seem an odd thing to do, with all the other things on my plate, but I sense it can be cathartic. So, here I go. Wish me luck, say a prayer, cheer me on and pretend not to notice if I fall.
