Here we go!

"It's about time, don't you think?"
     My dear friend said this with one of those great intense looks he can give (his glasses falling just a bit lower on his nose as his coal-black hair falls across one piercingly blue eye), and so - for once - I listened. Here I am: blogging.
     This blog will take us (you and I) many places in SecondLife and recount our experiences there. If you are a resident of the fanciful and wonderful digital world of SL, you already are aware that there are so many places to go, so much to see, so many opportunities to engage in fun and educational activities. And if you're not yet a resident of this enchanting land, may I ask, "Why not?" It's so easy...and with an array of new avatars and the use of display names (so you can change your name in-world)...you should consider it. Visit http://www.secondlife.com for more information and a link to the truly simple sign up process. Oh! And did I mention? It's FREE, if you wish.
     Just yesterday, I visited - are you ready? - three music venues to hear three very different and talented musical artists; those three (plus seven other randomly-selected) sims to explore; and two sites where lofty builds are in the process of coming together. I managed to do this all in the five hours I had to spend in-world.
     As I am on holiday throughout the month of August, yesterday was a "red-letter" day, meaning that I had an exceptional amount of time to wander the wonderland that is SL - and I had a great time doing it!
     So...as my holiday begins its long slide into home base, and as I return to a more regular schedule of perusing the day- and night-life of SecondLife, you are invited to come along for the ride. And what a ride it shall be!

I hope to see you soon. Until then, may fair winds and following seas be yours.
