After a 2 year hiatus I am returning to the blogsphere in order to expiate my frustration at not expressing myself in written language. The proximate reason for doing so that I am reading Jon Meacham,s book : The Art of Power; the life of Thomas Jefferson. This is a significant work that I highly recommend anyone interested in romance, history, Jefferson, or gifted writing. Jefferson left a legacy of his thoughts through the copious letters he wrote to friends and romantic acquaintances. Remarkably much of this writing has been preserved and Meacham has done an incredible job of collating these works into a history of  the US as well as a history of a great leaders life. I do not know how muchpf this is romanticized, but it has charmed me and captivated my imagination. And so it begins that I wish to communicate thoughts, though in no way to be compared with Jefferson or any other accomplished writer, to be preserved in the cloud.

While my past writing was often social as well as medical in context, I trust this writing will be more social and interpretive of my own thoughts in the present. Regardless of how I evolve I reserve the right to change my mind, regardless of whether the facts change or not. Should anyone choose to go on this ride with me I hope it will at the least be entertaining.

Til then ...
