first contact

Well, since this is my first entry into this new-to-me medium, I probably should have thought of something witty, urbane and erudite to write ahead of time. Well, tough. No such forethought here.

Halley is with me in the lab. The cells are hopefully proliferating. It is a beautiful day so why not spend it with my dog at work? At work, yes. More truthfully, on the computer on the internet at work. And growing cells don't really need me to babysit for them.

So, I have been reading a ton of other people's thoughts promulgated through this here trend called blogging. Maybe this can help me overcome one of my most retched and loathsome traits - not staying in touch with my friends. I am absolutely horrid when it comes to communication. They go off to foreign lands, or move to distant cities, and try as I might, resolving every year to 'do bet-ter', as my old band director used to say, ... yeah, it just never happens. I have letters and cards and pix going back years that have not been sent. Remedy du jour: I will put bits of my life out there, as it were, and if they come, they will see it. I shall try not to over edit. It just not fun if everything is peaches and cream. Yummy, yes, but not fun.

And hey, it's the internet! You all get to see it, too. In all it's technicolor glory. Bon Voyage!
