Welcome to The WildSideWalk!

Wow. I'm BLOGGING (Is that like Mary Martin--or the more recent Dorothy Hamill--yelling from the end of that hidden wire, "I'M FLYYYYYYYING!"????).

A former-boss/colleague/friend suggested that I do this, with the comment that I have "a lot to say." Then when I actually initiated the thing, the "lot to say" became an absolute daunting roadblock; due to my perfectionistic inclination--not only about writing, but about expression of thoughts--until this moment, I "THOUGHT" a great deal about writing, but always hesitated to actually sit down and do this.

I actually DO have "a lot to say," sometimes much more than is probably best for me, and certainly much more (volume) than others seem to readily handle.

There. It's DONE. The Pandora's Box has been cracked open.

You'll find that I write "a lot," about "a lot of different things." On the agenda are included:
1. Parenthood/children/being in either of those states at any given time.
2. Work: a multifaceted huge list of "topics" (read "mostly 'ISSUES'").
3. MY work, in its various forms and incarnations.
4. OTHERS' work, i.e. mostly observations and scathing criticism.
5. Psychology/mind/philosophy of mind, and sundry related subjects.
6. People in my life, who I hope/wish to share with others; some with "names changed to protect the innocent," others TOTALLY IDENTIFIED (usually because I either thought/confirmed they wouldn't mind, or because I think they "deserve to be named").
7. Art, which is an interesting topic, and BY THE WAY: WHEN YOU READ THAT WORD, WHAT DID YOU THINK OF?
8. "Pet Peeves"--based on a plethora of social/public behavior observations and experiences, there will be some portion of readers who take each one of these personally, to be sure, but far be it from this writer to shrink from a topic just because it might "affect" someone . . .
9. "Other" topics, as they may occur, be suggested, bubble up, or simply appear on the screen . . .
