Getting this blog started at last

I set up this blog last summer with good intentions, but for various reasons never actually got started with speaking the truth. Now that summer has come round again (at last!), I have decided to get the blog started properly. But to start with I will be a little less presumptious than I might have seemed before, by offering some insights which I hope are helpful, but for which I make no claim that they are objective truth. Some of them may be based on comments I have recently made on other blogs.
