Beginning at the beginning

What does one say to a blank screen, and the real possibility that no-one is listening.

This is my first blog ever, and the weight of my own expectation is oppressive. Already these words seem far too modest for the significance of the moment; the most interesting so far is the curious matter of why this program wants me to correct the spelling of blog.

I think I am going to write about original material collections, because at least that provides a focus to the enterprise. One feels one should be wise and learned in this forum, if everyone can read it, but its late and its my first blog ever, and don't people say that noone hears a tree falling in a forest.

At least trees don't die for this, although I suppose coal is burned so perhaps that is just as bad.
