What is a blog for? I guess I will find out. I could just go all Jack Kerouac on the readers. Some sort of string of consciousness type feel. But, I don't really have talent for that. So instead I will just be posting my feelings on different things that are going on. My two major topics will be books and what I am reading and have read, and the Labor Movement and specifically the UAW. If those topics seem completely unrelated and all together disjointed, they are but hey sue me I'm eclectic. (God, does that sound pretentious? It does?) Okay, I'm eclectic and pretentious. Just bear with me while I take this bold (is dipping a single toe in the water bold?) step into cyberspace.
