Blogging seems easy

Only took 2 minutes to set this thing up. It took me about two months to decide on a name. It's what I had written on my shirt at Thon. I hope to be a cool professor someday, and my name is Andrew. Let me know what you think of the name by adding a comment.

Right now I'm sitting at a table in lower Manhattan. Just took a nice leisurely walk around the area, which includes Ground Zero. I lived on a floor called Ground Zero in college; it had a big picture of a mushroom cloud in the entranceway. Always thought it was in somewhat poor taste, but it had been painted before the attacks. And since it still hung there, defiant of present day political correctness, I also always kind of admired it for being un-pc. Anyways, the real life Ground Zero is finally getting built up, now seven years later. It is filled with men putting in a hard day's work assembling the next great skyscraper. On a bright sunny morning such as this, it made me smile.

Blogs are rather pointless if there is no interaction; I might as well just keep using my private journal if I'm going to blather on about my daily life. So hopefully I can make this interactive. Today's topic hopes to be a simple start on that. They say when you wake up in the morning, the first thought on your mind is the thing that is most important to you today. Maybe it's your loved one, maybe it's a worry about your job, or maybe it's a prayer to God. This morning I woke up thinking about how I only have a couple more days in New York to spend with my sister and her husband. What about you?
