Hello, and Welcome!

Hello! This is my new blog, in which I will write about many things, including but not limited to:

• The Current Situation
• Cats
• Americorps
• Things I Have Heard Other People Say or Seen Them Do
• Crazy People
• My Efforts to Navigate Life When Everything is Going Pear-Shaped
• What is Up With Politics, Anyway?
• Networking, Job Skills, and Other Things That Are "Important" To My Career (and what is that anyway?)
• Videos I Like
• Etc. Etc. (this is the category that encompasses everything else)

Of course, since this is a Swedish Chef blog, I will spend this year of my life asking, "What would the Swedish Chef do?" and seeking to emulate what I believe he would have done if he were in my current situation (a la Julie & Julia).

This May or May Not include cooking, as the Swedish Chef has yet to publish his book, "Mastering the Art of Swedish Cooking" or even "My Life in Sweden" which would be very helpful in evaluating what he would have done. Nevertheless, I move forward, using only the few remnants of his life -- YouTube videos!!!!

While I do not yet have his fearlessness, I feel that my attempts to cook turn out largely the same way. This will be a good year, I think.
