First Post At Last!

I've finally joined the club - you know, the blogging club. We'll see if I can post often enough to make it worthwhile! For some reason, this little experiment puts me in mind of the moral of a fable:

Le monde est plein des gens qui ne sont pas plus sage.
Tout bourgeois veut battir comme les grands seigneurs,
Tout petit prince a des ambassadeurs,
Et tout marquis veut avoir des pages.

I'm sure I've mucked the spelling here or there - it's been a million years since I've done anything with my French... It just seemed appropos to this "momentous" occasion! ;)
