Buona Sera!

Hello, this is the inaugural post for my new blog. The title is Italian and it translates to the mirror and the sponge. I suppose it reflects (no pun intended) what will be going on here. I intend to post things I have observed and thoughts I am having. Maybe there will be a few juicy details and a line of gossip here and there, but otherwise for now I think it will be pretty vanilla.

Like a sponge, I hope to share what I have taken in through one way or another. If I have learned an interesting fact, felt strongly a particular way, or eaten something worth noting, then I will let out the information to all of you faithful readers, for which there is now only one.

But hopefully that means we can only go up from here.
