And so it begins...

Greetings! You must be really bored or really determined to have found this particular dark and remote corner of cyberspace! What follows are the titular rants, raves and observations of a self-titled "CautiousOptimist." I wish I could be certain that your time here would be well spent, but the reality is that most of what's posted here is simply a collection of the flotsom and jetsom of my brain, my heart and the internet at large. I can only hope that it's entertaining, enlightening and engaging. At the very least, it will give you some insight into who I am, and with any luck, make you think, smile or even chuckle along the way...
