The Limb Lives

OK, we're even, thanks to the strong left limb of David Price. Hang on.

Beginnings

This is the first blog entry on my new site, Out On A Limb.

I originated the title when I wrote a column as sports editor of my college weekly. I carried the title over to the division newspaper I edited while serving in the Army. I haven't used it since and I'm grateful it's still available as a name for my blog.

As the title implies, I take contrarian or controversials positions just to stir up a little dust and get the brain cells vibrating. Sometimes I'll be right and sometimes I won't, but I hope to keep it interesting and, of course, civil.

I'll also try to be amusing although I don't tell jokes. But perhaps a skewed vision of the world might bring a smile or two.

I am blessed with an abundance of grandchildren (a hint as to my age group) and they might perhaps provide fodder for this blog. We'll see.

And for you golfers out there, I am a confirmed hacker ruefully anticipating the end of the golfing season here in the northeast. If you have any ideas how to use the downtime to improve my game, I'm listening.

Well, you haven't heard anything controversial or contrarian so far and you're wondering when he's going to get on with it. So here goes:

The Rays in five.

See ya.
