Just beginning...

So: this is probably THE worst way I've ever procrastinated before. I was urged to set up a blog so that some friends would be more connected to me and my goings on. I told those friends that I didn't really have time to set up a blog right now, but perhaps after the semester ends. The semester is not yet over and I have a 10 page Economics paper due tomorrow, and yet I sit: setting up a blog. Shameful! I don't know that I have much to say right now... or that I ever will (or that anyone will really want to read what I'm writing)... but this is the beginning.
