An Experiment

I should start by saying that I have never blogged before, except a few years ago in grad school when I had to track my internship progress, and only one person had access to the link. So, the blog itself--and sharing my thoughts with whomever finds them interesting or amusing--is an experiment.

The second part of the experiment is the approach to life I've decided to take this year, which I seemed to have decided almost completely out of the blue on Saturday. At the most basic level I've decided to try new things. I guess like so many people when the new year comes around I began to think about what I want to learn and what I want to experience this year.

And so, I begin my experiment of trying new things and sharing what I think and learn along the way. As for what these "new things" are I can only share the few ideas I've had so far but this list is most likely to change and grow as months go on.

1. Read more, watch TV less (this one is easier than I thought)
2. Eat local and pay more attention to where my food comes from (hoping this will lead to summer gardening but let's not get ahead of ourselves)
3. Bike around town (I'll need to buy a bike)

...and more than a few surprises along the way.
