I'm not sure what the procedure is for first posts anymore, if one is expected to lay out an introduction or just start pumping out non sequiturs from the get-go.  Anyway, I'm Spike.  Good to meet you.

Ah, I was never good at inroductions anyway.

I have a Twitter account at http://twitter.com/FatherSpike if I disappear for weeks at a time, which I am apt to do.
