First post

Ahh, my foray into the blogging world has begun. I was really excited to participate in this now-so- popular activity and am now not so sure that my life or ponderings will be all that interesting to others, but we'll see. So I was trying to come up with a headline for my blog page and the word "ruminations" sounded at least intelligent if not cool. So when I looked up what the word "ruminate" really meant, there were two definitions; 1) to chew the cud and 2) to ponder. So in light of those definitions, that might be where my blog goes. It might not be all that informative or interesting, just a chew-the-cud type of post. Or you may find that there are some intelligent ponderings that give rise to questions and comments. Either way, I hope you enjoy my ruminations about all things intelligent and not so intelligent:)
