I've been thinking lately about new starts

I'm writing this on a tour bus in Ireland, heading into Killarney from Ballydaly. There may be something a little superstitious in this decision to christen a new blog right this minute, but I tend to wait for life to give me permission, and this is it, I think. This is the moment.

And anyway, yesterday I kissed the Blarney Stone, so maybe a little of that will come through my fingers.

Here's to the next ten years.
