Welcome, Bienvenue, Wilkommen, Pari Yegak

Hello the World,

...don't know how to start a blog really. Do I thank my mother and father? the Academy? or begin with a brief bio of myself, a resume, my world view or maybe state my purpose with this venture... I want to make it easy for people who are reading this to have a starting point, a narrative so-to-speak... I guess you could read this like a conversation that you are overhearing in a crowded place...not knowing how it began or where it will go - like my favourite book conversations in the cathedral - where we jump around dialogues without any indicators of time, space, or subject ...it's just (hopefully) captivating your attention for a while.
Describing this blog as a conversation is probably not too far from the truth, as this will be a kind of random musing of the things that are peaking my interest of late. Also, many friends of mine will attest that talking to me is like listening to someone having a conversation with himself. Whatever... I am not quite sure how to begin, but it seems I am already off to a pretty good start.
This picture is one of my favorites' of me and Tess Starr Strewn - it was an evening of cabaret at the Communists. I did a thing with a Shirley Bassey song, and Patrick kept us all in stitches with his rendition of Zip Zip by Rita Hayworth. Patrick now works in the film industry - guess that explains the lighting implement in his hand....
well... this will be start of my blog. Thanks for reading.
