So you think you can blog

Blogging, someone opined recently, is a sign we as a people have become narcissistic. I don't think that's true, at least no truer than it's ever been. America has a pretty long tradition of autobiographical writing, and what could be more indulgent and narcissistic than writing an entire book about yourself? I mean, think about The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin. Unbridled narcissism. If Franklin were alive today, he'd be all about having a blog.

So I'm in. This is my blog, and it will mostly be all about me, my family and friends, my dog, my cat, my Miata, golf, food, gardening, politics, religion, books, photography, movies, travel—whatever is on my mind.

And it will be indulgent and narcissistic. Oh yes.
