While it was bound to happen eventually, I guess today is the magic day.

Welcome to my nightmare! This is the “official” launch post for my blog career. Effective 12 February 2015 I do hereby announce the phredtheelder blog to be active and subject to public scrutiny.

The focus and direction this site will take is subject to change without notice (possibly without noticing, as well). I am uncertain what the overriding message is, to be discovered over time. I do promise to provide at least three messages each week, perhaps more. I promise to provide (what passes around here as) wisdom, knowledge, and general life experiences*.

I hope that something (somewhere, sometime) you find here enriches your life in some small way. Perhaps a laugh, a “hmmm” moment, a slight spike in blood pressure. If I can provoke a thought or contemplation, it will have been worth it.

In any case, it should be a heck of a ride… Welcome aboard.
