Starting this blog

My friends urged me to start a blog. "But why? I have nothing to say". After the laughter calmed down and eyes stopped rolling, I was informed I had never heard myself talk about my metalsmithing, my books, my passion for history or any other of my interests.

But now I am sitting in front of the screen just wondering what to write. Yes, this blog started out with a serious case of writer's block. Specially since I want to impress all my (potential) readers with my wit and wisdom. I thought I would start out by presenting myself, my life and my work but I find I have nothing to say. I would rather show my thoughts slowly, so you can form your own impressions, instead of listing my self perceived attributes.

Having said that, welcome to my blog. I hope to share a little of myself with you and that you will find it interesting. I hope this is the beginning of a good relationship between us all.
