Long time listener, first time blogger

So here it is, the Great Leap Forward - from commenting on someone else's blog to actually making a post, albeit in shared space. Thanks to Robert, et al., for providing this forum.

At some point I hope to come up with something brilliant or insightful to say, but for now I am just testing this to see how it works. Sorry to waste your time reading it, and I appreciate your indulgence.

Cheers,
Karen
