stat sua cuique dies

So, today I ended up getting sick. I didn't start out sick; in fact I was fine first thing in the morning. The problems started when I was out for my early morning jog. I was already about 2.5 miles from home by the time I started to feel a twinge in my lower back. That ended the jogging. However, I was halfway through my course, meaning I still had 2.5 miles to get back home. By the time I was within a mile of home I was wincing with every step. The commuters probably thought I was schizophrenic. Needless to say, I did not go into work.

Why do I start my blog in this way? I do so because it explains why I had time on my hands on a Tuesday. I decided that I have so many rantings and ramblings that it might be a cathartic experience to type them for the world to read. My goal is to get my thoughts in print. My hope is that those who read this will provide their comments, questions, criticisms, and insights. I want to educate myself, and a good method to do that is a conversation with smart people.

What did I do today? During the time I could sit up for a few minutes without intense pain I read blogs of others on the net. I ran across a few things that I will comment on later.

There are so many more ideas going around in my head, and I will write them in future posts. I hope I don't come across as too negative. Please let me know if I do. Thank you to anyone who runs across this site, reads it, and posts your thoughts.
