So this is how it all begins, not with a bang but with a really silly paraphrase…

I guess one of the problems I have always had with this type of activity is that there is always the past.

One is always tempted to go back to make sure the “reader” (who the hell is the reader? And do we/I/it care?) is up to speed on this girlfriend or one’s currenty job situation or how one has been arguing with the plumber for months on end trying to get a job finished.

It seems important, doesn’t it?

It isn’t.

For something like this to work, one must always start in medias ras (spelling?).

Just jump in. Pound away on the keyboard.

Because you’re never going to get caught up.

Hell, I have over 40 years of catching up to do. Think it’s going to happen? No……….

So don’t try.

Jump.

The end result will be worth the effort.
