okay,okay here it is,

First of all, the whole concept of a blog is for me totally alien. For one my ignorance of technology only rivals that of my mom's or anyone else's from her generation. Marc and Yvette had begrudgingly given me components to put together a home theater system once and it sat in my apartment for two months before I attempted to out them together. I was somehow afraid that it would just emit a hissing sound followed by some malodorous smoke akin to burning rubber and that would be the end of it. For two months the "audio/video receiver", as it was called, sat in my living room and I just stared at it not quite knowing what to do with it. When it was inevitable that Marc and Yvette , and this Englishman in New York, were coming to my new neighborhood(Washington Heights) , I had no choice but to attempt to put it together and hope somehow that it worked and somehow, it did.

As it was, this same Englishman had his own weblog and his response, one day, to my questions about how one blogs was this weblog. As I have stared at this page not quite knowing what to do with it or how to do it, I realized that attempting to make this work would not be as dismal as I would imagine. Certainly no hissing sounds or malodorous smoke would come out of trying to figure this thing out. So, Wesley, if this first blog goes through successfully, congratulations to me and thanks to you and perhaps, there will be more. If it doesn't, you suck!
