Preface and such

So I'm opening this blog. It's official, it's happening, and I'd say the hour is late, but it's actually obscenely early in the morning right now, and I will be needing some bed in a moment. The plan is to ping-pong these entries between snapshots, writing, and chit-chat. Postings that are too scrapbookish for Facebook and too more-than-the-character-count for Twitter. And hopefully music will make it on here, in some form or another. For now, I'm going to close out, get sleep, and post a little fragment of writing.
