So why a blog? Well, I'm not so pretentious as to believe I have such powerful and profound thoughts that I must share them with the world... However, I do love to write... I find a certain amount of peace in organizing and composing my thoughts (however inane they ultimately may end up being).
So I suppose this blog is an exercise in therapy for myself. And of course, the romantic in me also misses the days of written correspondence between family and friends, and views this as a way to recapture some of the spirit of good old-fashioned snail mail ("but John, the US Postal Service still exists, you can still send letters the old-fashioned way if you want to "... I know... I know... I didn't say that all of my ramblings were going to make sense).
This brings me to the title of my new blog. Why "The Pursuit of Happiness". Well, I wanted something fairly broad in scope that would allow me to cover many topics in one place (basically whatever twisted thoughts populate my mind at any given time). Plus I wanted something that would convey my love of this great nation of ours in an understated way... and what's more American than the Pursuit of Happiness? It comes right out of our founding document.
As to content, expect it to be wide-ranging, basically taking us wherever my latest whim steers. Topics could range from current events or history, to sports, family, politics, books, art & music, to maybe even some of my fictional writings (if I am feeling particularly brave). Basically, if it catches my fancy, you will find it here. So please check back from time to time, and feel free to interact... leave comments, criticisms, suggestions. And remember, happiness is just around the corner.
