Blog envy.

My friends are doing it, so what the hell. I figure I’ll write maybe one page worth, and then I’ll have it out of my system.

What will become of this manifestation of my latent megalomania? Nothing much. I won’t be releasing it to anyone, or if I do, very few. I am a modest man, as Churchill once said of a fellow parliamentarian, with a great deal to feel modest about.

I make no promises. This weblog will be at times sententious, overlong, and pompous in the extreme. But, if nothing else, it will allow me to see myself for what I am. Which is rare enough; I usually only see my own delusion of myself: capable, noble, effective, worthwhile. What any reader will see is something less complimentary, I’m sure.

But enough. This is a start. Clupeiforum has begun. Hopefully the smell won’t get too bad once the fish start to rot.
