Come on in. Make yourself at home. I'm really not ready for guests yet, but I'm happy to have you here. Pull up a box and have a seat. Just make sure it's not marked "fragile."

(If you found your way here from my bio in the big program, the additional information I promised is right here.)

Welcome to my little corner of the 'Net. It doesn't look like much right now, but in the coming days this place will see a lot of expansion. And just in case you're wondering, I first posted this on Friday, July 6, 2001. If I haven't gotten a few more sections up and running by, say, Bastille Day, feel free to write me and this place off.

What can you, the House of Cheer visitor/viewer, expect in the near future? Well, if you're reading this, I'm blogging now, for one thing. This will allow me to post updates to the site frequently, from anywhere, and loose my stream-of-conscious ramblings upon the world. This sounds good, to me and in theory. We'll see how it all goes in practice.

The blog promises to be the main event around here, but it will by no means be all there is to see. There will be longer pieces, mostly op-ed type stuff and fiction (I can say this with some assuredness because I've already got two items in the can, just waiting to be coded). I'll also be pointing you to some of the footprints I and my friends have left in the soft, fertile ground of World Wide Web.

So, if you'd be so kind, check back every now and again to see what's up around these parts. It's my aim to be a gracious host, and I can't do that very well without pleasant company like yourself.
