And so it begins...

When one is telling a story, the saying goes, you start at the beginning, and continue on until you reach the end. But where does a blog truly start? For me, my blog starts with a lazy summer night, as I sit and contemplate life, the universe, and everything. (Apologies to Douglas Adams, of course) A couple of months ago, a friend of mine suggested that I start a blog, and after enough procrastination, I am finally starting one. I don't have any lofty goals for this blog. The intent isn't to create powerful discourse on the nature of politics, people, and God. Rather, it is meant to serve as a tiny snapshot into my life, such as it is.

I'm home for the weekend in Ann Arbor, and it is good to be home. As most of my friends and family know, I have been spending a significant amount of time out of town on business travel. The focus of my job is in the Washington DC area, but home is here. Ann Arbor is a wonderful little town, full of interesting people, fun restaurants, and of course, the University of Michigan. In a few short weeks, the students will be returning to town, and adding their own vibrant touch to town.

I flew home on Friday night and hung out with one of my friends. We had dinner at Ashley's downtown, and then watched the movie "Hitch". The movie was very funny -- definitely recommended. I didn't get to bed until way too late, which kind of put a damper on my Saturday. I'm hoping that tomorrow will be a lot more productive than today was.

Anyways, it's time for a bed.
