Welcome to the first blog of the rest of your life

The usual practice in these situations, we think, is too lay down an opening post explaining the blog's purpose, hopes, dreams and fears. How terribly un-Clapham-Omnibus-like. When you sit down next to someone on the subway, the first thing they'll say to you is usually "You're sitting on my jacket" or "Do you really have to sit here? there's a dozen empty seats on this car and I don't like the look of that pet ferret", not "Hi. My name is Terence Bringburger. I'm a 42 year old attorney from Sackville, New Brunswick, where I have a solo practice dealing mostly with Federal Dry Dock Subsidies Act issues. My wife is by profession a choreographer of medieval-themed dinner theatre and by passion a chronicler of geographic and temporal trends in scatological euphemisms. We have two children, one of whom is disappointingly dim-witted and the other obsessed with unionizing the local street bandits. We used to dream of one day retiring to a nice cottage in a small town, but eventually realized that anything smaller than Sackville would require an electron microscope to locate. We now hope to one day quit our jobs and run an on-line bed and breakfast."

So, here's the deal. This post explains nothing. We may post something soon about what this blog is interested in. Or we may just start posting stuff. If you've got any brains, and we're
already starting to doubt that you do, you'll figure out what's going on here soon enough.

Welcome to the Clapham Omnibus, Sucker.
