Oh good lord, I did it. I started a blog. What the heck was I thinking? Just another affirmation of my tendency to unwittingly follow the crowd, I guess. All perfectly normal. Move along, people. Nothing new to see here.

I called it Attention Please because what is an online journal but a silly plea for attention? People have kept journals, records of their lives, for centuries, always with the hope that "someday" their thoughts will be read and appreciated. And now with technology and all, the gratification is nearly immediate.
