Hello everyone! And by everyone, I mean my two cats, Rum Tum Tugger and Leonardo. I'll be posting sporadically on various random topics that impact our day-to-day lives, like this.

I should give you some background on me... Not! For those of you who don't know me, I am enough of a country boy that I might actually post my credit card number online, or not lock my car doors in a movie parking lot. (Sorry, Maureen!)

The title of the blog is Kierkegaard's first chapter in Fear and Trembling, a book attempting to understand the faith of Abraham as incompatible with Hegel's views on ethics. It reflects the immediancy of blogging and how I will often be throwing out an initial reaction.
