The WIFM

Yesterday, I talked about why I am here.  It wasn’t quite the existential question it looks like today.  It was a little more specific than that.  The question really was “why am I blogging?”

Today, the question is “Why should you care?”  Why should what I think matter?  What’s the WIFM—“What’s In It For Me?” for you.

An excellent question.

First tip of the blog–always ask that question.  I’m not an advocate of unrelenting selfishness, but life is short.  There better be something for you in anything on which you choose to spend your precious time.  But—second tip of the blog—don’t  stop doing something or fail to start just because the answer is not immediately apparent.  Sometimes, you have to be right in amongst the trees and climbing up them before you can see the forest.

In this case. . .maybe the WIFM is  just another way to procrastinate.  Maybe some fleeting amusement.  Maybe some useful information.

Maybe not.

Like most people, the Exact Center of the Universe is wherever you happen to be, not necessarily where I am.  So my thoughts aren’t gonna be useful just because they’re my thoughts.

On the other hand, I’ve been through some stuff and learned some things that I might be able to share with you here.   Maybe that’s what’s in it for you.

Or maybe it’s what’s under the hats.  (Tune in tomorrow.)
