Over in the Essays/Rants section, you'll find a missive I wrote sometime last year called, "Women Are From the Forebrain, Men Are From the Medulla Oblongata." I think it's pretty funny and hope you enjoy it.

That essay started life as an email from me to my sister-in-law. I forget what prompted it, but I felt compelled to lay out to her what I saw as the basic difference between the genders. She told me that if I could expand the text a little bit, she could guarantee online publication. So I did, and she did. I would point you to the page where it originally appeared, but it seems no longer to exist.

At any rate, from that publication led an offer to write a weekly recap of the new Star Trek series for another web site which has defuncted itself, and eventually to this blog you now see before you. Because of its historical significance, I decided it made sense to make it the first bit of writing I put on display here.

It's not pretty. I was under the impression it would show up looking somewhat like this main page. I don't know whether I did something wrong, or my expectations were too high to begin with. I'll bet good money on option one. Expect the look to improve as my personal HTML tutor gets her hands around my neck and throttles some basic understanding into me.

I'm just happy I got it up here without breaking anything.
