The joys of blogging.

I've been watching the obvious pleasure so many get from having a blog that I have decided to give it a whirl.

The title "The Gun Deck" refers to the deck on old sailing warships where the proverbial "loose cannon" could be found. It was one of the ship's regularly mounted cannon that had broken loose from its attachments and could easily hit the wrong target if fired, or could be dangerous just rolling around on the deck.

That pretty much describes me. Generally safely anchored where I belong, the ropes break occasionally, or are intentinally untied by outside forces, such as polititans, world events, or yapping dogs beneath my bedroom window.

This little blurb is just to see how it looks.
