F1r57!

This is my first post. A couple of things have convinced me to start keeping a blog.

1. This blog post
2. Hit my head pretty hard skateboarding last Friday, and it's got me thinking of trying new things.
3. I'm a dad now. Maybe my kid will want to read this stuff someday... humor me.
   
4. I used to write more and found it very therapeutic. Nowadays, all I write are emails (often arguing about politics with friends) and legal documents. It's been a while since I wrote free-standing prose.
5. Probably some other reasons I'm not thinking of right now.
