Obligatory "first post"

I assume that if you are reading this, you know me, or at least have met me.  Why would you be here otherwise?  So I'm skipping the introductions.  I've been debating with both myself and friends for more than a year about the merits and detriments of starting a blog about my travels.  Yeah, well, you win.  But keep in mind that my layout skills suck.  And my camera drains the life out of batteries at an alarming rate, so even if I take it everywhere AND remember to pull it out of my bag to take pictures (which is not very likely) it may not work.  Plus I am the ultimate procrastinator, so even if I remember to upload my images, or type a new entry, I'll just not do it because I don't feel like it.  Let's not forget that my life really isn't all that interesting most days.
I could write more, but as I have wasted several hours of my afternoon just setting this up, I don't have the energy to recount any tales.
