When in the course of human events it becomes necessary...there, wasn't that a grand beginning? We could follow this theme out and explain why a decent respect to the opinions of mankind require that we set forth the reasons which impel us to begin this blog, but the simple fact of the matter is that its sole raison d'etre consists of providing an outlet for effusing to the world how clever, witty, perceptive, jolly, and all-round wonderful a person Michael is. And with that departure from the royal We, the mask has slipped to reveal that it is I, Rose, who pens (types) most of these entries, and it will be a lucky day when Michael gets a word in edgewise.
