It has been my intention to start a blog since shortly after I arrived here in Germany. With anything that may be put off to another day, however, more important things can always be found to attend to first.
The spur to this action came last summer (or winter, depending on the perspective) when I was visiting Australia. I was somewhat dismayed to find that my life in Stuttgart remained largely a mystery to most of my family and friends. Not particularly surprising, given my poor record in returning correspondence. Since returning home, I have realized that too frequently I am either too busy or too tired to truly compose a decent message to you in an email. I now feel that the blog is the most practical way to reach you all.
But I don't want this to be just an extended travelogue about my life in Stuttgart. This was part of my reluctance to start the blog in the first place - what to write here? I've decided that anything goes. I'll write about my thoughts on a particular news story, a walk in the forest behind my house, the weather, how much I dislike it when people bring their large dogs onto the buses here - I see no bounds to my subjects except those imposed by common decency.
With this preamble, let the blogging commence!
