This my first post

Since I've never had my own blog before, I'm feeling self-conscious as I write my first post. Probably because the only audience I envision is myself--maybe I'm afraid to disappoint my only reader with remarkably pedestrian content.

So: let's envision a reader for this blog. First of all, someone who can read, notices spelling and grammar (particularly mistakes), and who is online looking for something interesting to read. Someone who wants thought-provoking content, not just "interesting"--he can find that at any number of websites. Someone who likes, or is mildly interested in, writing that exposes thought processes; good writing that can take a reader along for the ride is something I like.

I guess this description of an ideal reader is of myself, really. But it's just the kernel of a description; maybe I'll follow up on it later.
