Stirring the pot...

It's a dandy thing - the Internet. It connects, distracts, confirms and creates all kinds of good and bad. For me, I've fallen hard for all things online. Shopping, blog-reading, research, news, and more. I've decided to try my hand a blogging - this is my second attempt, to see if it sticks. Knowing me it will be like vitamins. A good idea and a religious commitment for weeks or months - then a frozen stop. But people can change. My goals here are chiefly, to practice my writing, promote some side projects (more to come on that later), therapize (but only a little, I'm a Scorpio and can't handle too much open-ness) and shape my position (and learn yours) on the things that confuse, charm and challenge me the most - being a grown up, marriage, family, parenthood, career jazz, design, food and being a citizen of the world. Stop by for the mixed nuts - a salty, sweet, crunchy combination of nourishing (and hopefully never depressing or self-aggrandizing-slap me if you feel otherwise) insights. Expect humor and w(h)it - expect self-depricating but not deflatingly cruel analysis. Expect errors. Expect occasional pot stirring. Expect nostalgia and anglophila. Expect my boys - the Pig and the Bear - to appear often. And my man - BC. Expect that like most things in life that need time, it will get better.
