Description:	What am I doing blogging? I’m not really a writer, as probably any real writer reading this can tell. I occasionally write well, but it comes hard. I am not one of those people that can spew out 5000 well-written words effortlessly. So the quality of the content here will probably be hit or miss. I have some whacky ideas. In my formal research, I can’t always discuss less than fully formed ideas. But formality be damned here. Maybe I can be a little controversial.
