The First Post

Greetings to all, and thank you for viewing my very first posting. It took me a frustratingly long amount of time to come up with an appropriate title. After pondering many good titles, and following through in the spirit of indecisiveness, I finally picked from a handful, selected a title, and said good enough (not really). As it turns out that blog name was already taken. So I returned to the table of indecisiveness, until I decided good enough on another title. Still no luck. Unfortunately there are so many blogs out there that many of the titles halve already been taken. Then it occurred to me that maybe good enough was really good enough, and fortunately it was. Good enough also happens to be my fathers life motto, so I can give him a good laugh in the process.
Good enough also seems to be as good a theme as any, as I don't expect these postings to be highly polished postings that I would feel worthy of true publication. I hold no promise to perfect spelling, or correct usage of words. An example of my written ineptitude is a short quote from a paper I once wrote: "these logical phallacies". I almost handed that one in to a philosophy prof one time--my English major/ guardian angel Doug caught that one before I sent it in (I think he wishes he hadn't now just to see what the prof might have written back to me in the margins of the paper). :)
On the Blog title of "Mostly There" it seemed to be as good a title as any that I could arbitrarily assign for the time being. Perhaps I'll change it, and perhaps I'll not. We shall see.
While I am in the mood for disclaimering... I may post frequently, but don't be too surprised if you see a lapse of several months between postings. I haven't yet mastered the art of keeping up on emails with even my best friends and family members, I don't know why this will necessarily be different.
With that, I think I will close this first post. Enjoy.
