There is a legend about Albert Einstein, that he was invited to speak at a prestigious dinner and when it came time to speak, he stood at the podium and simply said, "I have nothing to say.", then sat down. The attendees were justifiably disappointed. A few months later, he called the organizers of the event and said, "I have something to say now."

If I ever find a way to verify this legend, I will post it here, to be sure. Einstein's lateness in such a setting disqualified him from being able to say what he had to say, but with the technologies of the blogosphere and linked web pages it is no long impossible to miss the audience just because you are late to the event.

"I have something to say now ..." is just that - I have come to the conviction that it is time to begin posting a varied collection of ideas, in no particular order, that have formed my view of life.

It is important to accept that this is ME - any similarities that it might have to YOU are incidental. I accuse no one of thinking differently than me, although I know this to be absolutely true. I challenge everyone to read carefully and thoroughly. I reserve the right to change my mind on anything I am challenged on and I will gladly express that here or in associated links with credit to the challenger. My goal is to express my thinking and then continue to refine that.
