I've always thought bloggers were so full of themselves. Now I am one. Here's to those who are capable of changing their minds. Cheers!

I've had a web site since 1996. A year after the world changing Windows 95 was released with a web browser and networking built in. Before that, I connected to the internet using MS-DOS and various programs, including IRC chat, Telnet and Gopher. Bulletin Boards were popular back then, and AOL, Prodigy and Compuserv were Bulletin Boards before they were connected to the World Wide Web. I remember dialing into each of those with a modem so slow that a text page would take minutes to load. A picture had to be downloaded and decoded to view IF you were lucky enough to have a video card installed in your computer so that pictures and graphics could be seen. Those were the days.
Now I'm running Windows XP and surfing with a broadband connection, and I am so spoiled. Everything just pops up as quickly as I need it. Times have changed. Now I have changed and I'm beginning this blog, which will soon find it's purpose in the world. Right now, I'm thinking I'll write a lot about coffee, roasting beans and all things related to that process. I have a lot of ideas and opinions though that are important to me. I seriously doubt that my opinions will cut through the static of the billions of other opinions thrown out there, but maybe I'll feel better knowing I'm tossed mine in with the rest.
I'll sleep on what my first real post might be. It's 2am and I need to get some sleep. I am working tomorrow. Oh, by the way, I am a clinical therapist. I work with families in their homes when things start melting down. I specifically work with adoptive families. I enjoy what I am doing, and it's great when it's hard to tell wether it is work or play.
G'night
