Heads Up

In 4 days, This blog will be one year old and I will be, well, one year older. On Friday, I celebrate one more birthday. Optimistically, I'll be one year wiser, pessimistically, I'll be one year closer to death ... such is life.

On November 22 of 2001, I began this blog as an exercise in exploring ideas and information.

Shakespeare, through the character Hamlet once said "Words, Words, Words".

Words on a page can help unlock the universe or they can simply be a momentary diversion. On occasion, they can be both.

Of course, life itself is the ultimate form of self expression. But in many ways, I believe it must be interpreted and expressed in order to clarify and give meaning to the mundane.

After one year in the Blogosphere, this blog, in a small way has fulfilled its intended purpose.

For some, my written words will be a temporary diversion, for others perhaps ideas worth pondering and acting upon. Whatever it is for you, I rest comfortably assured that the reason I passed this way, was simply to "express". In the end, after all is said and done, remember, it is necessary that we all make sure that more was done than said.

P.S. Special recognition to these bloggers who were there from day one (whether they realize it or not) providing inspiration (through their writing or designing) for what Citiblog was to become. Erica, Trina, Oliver and George thanks.
