First Post

I’ve been contemplating a blog for a long time. I even went so far as to do a kind of pseudo-blog—really a journal—strictly on my hard drive, just to see if I would post frequently enough to make it worth my while to do it, and worth your while to read it.

I tended to post every other day—I wasn’t sure if that was enough but it was fairly regular—some people seem to get away with that. It wouldn’t be a big blog but—if I did post something every other day—there would be at least a little new content pretty frequently.

I still didn’t jump in—I wanted to do something different. I considered various and sundry ideas and finally settled on a blog that concentrated on old movies and, especially, sci-fi movies, with respectful reviews and notes—and only an occasional foray into the world of politics.

This year has been unusually exciting in terms of politics but I still held back—would I stick with it?

Then came the story of the opinions of Obama’s pastor; the various stories and opinions and the whole controversy made me decide to jump off the pier. So here it is. I don’t know if I will sink or swim—I guess we’ll find out together.

I intend to do my job and post frequently but I can’t promise that yet—we’ll have to see.

Thanks.
