I still don't have a column of my own

Since it doesn't look like USA Today is giving me my own column anytime soon, and I'm unlikely to see myself sprawled across the side of a bus like Carrie on Sex and the City, if I want to write a column and whine about everything around me everywhere, it's going to have to be here. Since I tend to waver between crankiness and life-affirmation, sometimes minute-to-minute, what I put here is likely to be somewhat random, not to mention too wordy and perhaps not such a pleasure to read. This last sentence is probably the best description of myself I have ever put together. So here I go, blogging on.
