Seeing as this is my first entry, I am feeling great pressure to make it impressive.  What can I say that will make me sound witty, intelligent and sophisticated?  The trouble with setting down your thoughts for all to see, is that I’m not sure we do want everyone to see us.  The real us.  We don’t really want people to know that we are not always witty, that some days we do or say stupid things, and that we are only sophisticated at cocktail parties.   We hide our real selves and the danger in exposing our thoughts is that we expose ourselves.  

    So, knowing full well that this is a risky venture, I am daring to go forward anyway.  I will start slowly as I’m pretty sure the real me is best served in measured doses.
