Introduction

I decided to join the influx of friends who have started blogs, and for a couple of reasons. First of all - I do not foresee these posts as being personal little sentimental portals for friends to see what I'm up to, but rather an insight into, as Andy Allen so magnificently phrased it, my own mind-thoughts. At work, I get to listen to NPR online all day if I want to. And this is great, because I get the scoop on a lot of the major news headlines, and really enjoy listening to the discussions which are more often than not fascinating. I've even gotten to write in to a couple and have my contributions read on-air. This leads me to the second reason - NPR doesn't read enough of my emails to sate my desire to share what I think. Hence, a blog.

The stupid title is derived from the time in which I get to write in the blog; after I finish a couple of sandwiches and am otherwise twiddling my thumbs during my twenty minute lunchbreak. I figure the remaining ten minutes will give me time to say what I would like to say in a reasonable amount of words, which will help me summarize my thoughts (that has proven to be difficult in the past, e.g. any time I tried to explain something to the ultimate team at Calvin) and make the posts a reasonable length for easier reading.

I like to think that I have interesting things to say about stuff that comes up in the news or in my mind. Ask Nora for a second opinion. But as I eat my own lunch food, I hope this will offer at least some brain food. Cheesy, I know. But with a label like Brown Blog Lunch, anything goes.
