I can think of three excuses for starting a blog. First, I have a couple weeks of break and this will give me something to do. Second, some other people have suggested that I start one, so there is something other than pure personal presumption playing into this. Third, for several years I've been writing substantial notes on Facebook, so I have some reason to think this won't be yet another one-or-two post blog that dies before having a chance at life. And that brings me to the title, which you'll notice is HoffBlogII, as in, "the second HoffBlog."

What was the first Hoffblog? Not mine. I meant for the title to be simply "HoffBlog," but that title was already taken by someone called "Todd Hoffman" who I kid you not created his own HoffBlog back in 2005, and in all these seven years has made exactly one post which reads simply, I quote, "Test." So, I am obliged to be "HoffBlogII", and there is no deeper meaning, sorry.

It would be the height of foolishness to say how often I'll post. I'll post when I feel like it and when I have something to say.
