Does it matter?

I’ve discovered (more than once) writing a blog or journal (if you prefer the offline version) is much like the concept of owning a kitten or puppy.  EVERYONE wants one!  They are so cute, you’ve all seen the pictures.  Puppies and kittens frolicking around looking all cute and you think “hey, I should get one”.  And it’s all fun and games until you realize the amount of work that is involved.
