Long, long ago, in a universe very much like this one, two friends decided that they would write a blog together. It was one of those conversations that ranges freely over this thing and that one and never ends up where it was supposed to. Perhaps each friend thought the other wasn't really serious. Later the friends returned again to the topic, but both of them were a little Afraid of Blogging. It seemed big and scary, and like the kind of thing that might get them fired.
But then one of the friends started a blog, more or less on the advice of a writer friend who assured her that she'd be very good at it (liar that he is). And then after a very, very long time, the second friend was inexplicably moved by the desire to write a blog post on the absurdity of gun advocacy in the wake of the Virginia Tech tragedy.
And so it was that Shifter joined this blog. I welcome him thankfully, because he'll surely bring the editorial quality up a notch, and because although it's been fun writing a blog by myself, I am really, really looking forward to blogging with him. He's smart as a whip and an all-around nice guy. And as soon as we can figure out how to automatically add bylines to the blog, we will TOTALLY do that. Honest.
Howdy, Shifter! Welcome on board!
