In the beginning

Here I am: my first post on my first blog. A couple months ago I decided that I wanted to start blogging. Not because I think that I have lots of profound ideas that no one else has thought of. And not because I think that there will be a huge following of my blog (quite the contrary, I am certain). No, I wanted to start blogging, because there is not much in my life right now that involves creativity, and perhaps this can be a way for me to think outside the finance box in which I have put myself. I love it when Christmas comes around, and I can write our annual Christmas letter, so I would like to think of this as a year-round Christmas letter, except easier and cheaper!

I love to write -- always have -- and I like to think that I am pretty good at it; however, it is something that you have to keep working at. I do some writing in my job, though I am generally confined to topics such as company valuation and mergers. Politics, religion, friends and family do not usually come up when composing engagement agreements, so I will discuss those topics, and others, here.
