Hello World

Hello. My name is Marc and I am a human being who doesn't like to write much. I've heard that the best cure for lousy writing is to do it more. This advice comes from my lovely wife and was then confirmed by the esteemed Ira Glass, who is an NPR radio host for one of my favorite programs. You should check out his series on storytelling, it is excellent and offers a lot of advice to those who have something to say but may not be the best at saying it (yet).

So, the whole purpose of this blog is none other than to force myself to write, daily, for 5 minutes. I'll probably run the gamut of topics, many will be non-sensical and may contain several typos. The point is not to be perfect, but just to get something out. Hopefully it is interesting to myself and any others who find themselves compelled to read.

So, without further ado, here is my first post. And just like that, it's over.
