To the Blogosphere - with haste!

Today is Tuesday, Oct. 2, the 275th day of 2007. As good a day as any to join the blogosphere. This is the tenth month of the year. These are solid numbers.

One of the books I read this summer was Born on a Blue Day by Daniel Tammet, the 27-year-old British autistic savant with Asperger’s syndrome. He had an obsession with numbers and his birthday - January 31st - was a blue number in his remarkably creative mind. For symbolism, I’ll settle for the fact that my blogging life is beginning at the start of the month which will give me, perhaps, some discipline to write on a regular basis.

For someone who is not innately creative, this blog will allow me to share some thoughts and observations. I’m very fortunate in that my job allows me to travel extensively so my posts will alternate between home and away. I work in the field of international education so the “theme” of the blog, if there be one, is learning in a global context. Now there's a big order.

However, dear Reader, allow me to occasionally meander as my mind wanders here and there. To the Blogoshere then - with haste!
