Conversations--rambling and otherwise among friends and interested parties

Hi all and welcome,
I started this blog because I have some truly interesting folks I carry on conversations with and instead of writing to each of them separately and then thinking: Gee ArTee would be interested in what Brother had to say, I figured I'd set up a blog in the hope that the conversations would continue. I'll try to set up each thread so it has some identifiable continuity. In the settings I've left it *mildly* public but not published.
Anyhow I'll try get it get started this afternoon.
