Welcome to my blog

Two people actually asked me to start blogging - one in a friendly way, the other so that I would quit hijacking someone elses's blog. So here we are, the first day of my blogging career, September 27, 2007. Whether it's an auspicious day, or not, is yet to be determined. The moon is full, however.

Sam is a libertarian, a Buddhist and works in nonprofit fundraising. He is more aware than ever that he does not have all the answers, and is working through many issues as diligently as possible. Posts will deal with a variety of topics, as you might imagine revolving around those areas. Sam's style will fall somewhere between Henry David Thoreau and Scott Adams, creator of the comic strip Dilbert and blog of the same name.

Unlike Thoreau, Sam did not live in the 19th century, but admires the writing style of American Transcentalists. Like Adams, one of Sam's means of self-therapy is to attempt to be unremittingly honest about what is happening in the world, while striving to do the same for himself.
