Impetus

It's when you frequently find yourself mentally writing posts before you even have a blog that you know the blogosphere is calling to you.

The problem with starting a blog so late is that all the clever domains are taken. I guess I should have expected that all the words that mean "long-winded," "rambling," "verbose," and---unfortunately---"many-syllabic" naturally lend themselves to to a blog domain, and that I was much too late in the game to claim one for my own. My irritation increased as I visited each of the domains that I wanted to use only to find that they were several years old and much-neglected. Oh well, to my delighted surprise the ol' nickname standby was available, and I got a punny title out of the exploration. (Punny title subject to change. If you're raising a confused eyebrow, see here: http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/sesquipedalian)

Anyway, blogosphere, here I come.
