Captain's Log - Day 0

I like to write. I find it cathartic. For me it's kind of like shooting at the Bullet Hole with my Springfield Armory XD9 sub-compact handgun, although not as destructive and not as expensive. Although if I wrote everything I thought, it could be worse on both accounts.


I like to do a lot of things. Some I am fairly good at, like cooking. Some I wish I was good at it, like golfing. And some I need to never, ever do under any circumstances, like singing. My favorite things to do are hang out with the love of my life, and be a father to two amazing kids. I know that everyone thinks that they have amazing kids. I get it. But I also feel sorry for them, because my kids define amazing. Sorry, but that's the way it is. (Didn't I just say I shouldn't write everything I think?)


And so here I am. Attempting a blog. My wife actually encouraged me start it. I'm glad she did. I hope to use this to share a thing or two that I create in the kitchen, or spark a conversation on a topic I am struggling with. I'll warn you that I may stray from my grandfather’s advice to avoid talking politics and religion with friends. But then I would have to assume that I have friends that actually read this silly blog. That may be a stretch.


So as I look ahead, I see a few topics bubbling to the top. One is friends (nice segue, eh?) and Facebook. Another is "what is an opinion?" I also want to weigh in on "Don't ask, Don't tell." I may also ramble on about sports, money, and cars if the testosterone kicks in. But who knows. Whatever it is, I'll try to keep it funny and optimistic. I tend to keep things light, and I tend to see more gray than black and white. I also hope that the Risible Millenarian is more than a title I came up with on a whim. I hope it becomes a way of life.
