Today is a day of firsts. This is my first post to my first blog. To further develop this concept of firsts, I have decided to use my first post to announce the publication of my first book. The book, titled Welcome To Pottersville, will be out in June and will be available first at internet bookseller Lulu.com and then at Amazon.com, Borders.com, and Barnesandnoble.com.

The book is about baseball. The book centers around New York's two famous baseball teams, the Mets and Yankees, and their fans. Welcome To Pottersville is also about how something as simple as the baseball team you root for can influence your whole life. It's also about the one constant in our lives, change, and how it can affect things we have known our whole lives. It's part autobiographical, part satire, and part historical. It's about the underdog that's in each and every one of us. And, like baseball, it's about going home.

This blog will be my creative home. In it I will be presenting my viewpoints on a lot of diverse subjects. I will update you on The Welcome To Pottersville project as well as my other creative endeavors. I will write about baseball. More specifically, the New York Mets. Most importantly, I will write about life and the three most important things in mine- my wife, my family and friends. If you are reading my blog, you fall into that last category. Thank you for visiting my friends. We'll talk soon.
