El Principio

In six days, I head south for what promises to be at least an adventure and most likely a life changing experience.  This first post is the "testing, one, two" of blog posts and I hope it is audible because this blog will serve as my primary form of communication with most of you.  So ease the seat back and mark this url under your Favorites for future reference.  

PS - These posts are likely to be rife with lyrical, musical, and general cultural references, so keep an encyclopedia handy and a youtube tab at the ready.  And if I say something strange, it's probably just a quote from a song.
