cheaper than therapy

Over the years, many friends have encouraged me to start blogging. They said it was because I was" funny" and "opinionated." I think this was a tactful way to say "drunk" and " loud."  I was (and still am) reluctant to do so; I feel like the cultural bandwidth is choked with attention whores and I didn't want to swell the ranks.  There is a lot of great commentary available on the subjects I am  interested and passionate about, most of it by people smarter and better informed than me.  Why add to the clamor?  

But it IS cheaper that therapy. So what the hell. We'll see how it goes. And you don't have to read it, especially if you are related to me.
