Virgin Post

Ok, I am officially venturing into the world of blogging. After almost a year of reading blogs and even occasionally commenting, I am taking the plunge...

I hope to develop this blog into a mixture of political commentary/rants, random things that amuse me and stories from my travels.

Right now I am gearing up for a crazy world adventure to Thailand, Dubai, and Tajikistan (or "that 'stan place"). I leave in less than a week and will be traveling for almost a month. I love traveling and I am a self-admitted stress junky, but the mad rush to get everything in my office in shape and to see friends and family before jetting off to places unknown is getting a tad wearing. I find I am staring at this picture a lot - it is from my trip to Tbilisi Georgia this summer - it's beautiful and strangely calming.
