If you're asking yourself why the first posting would be titled this way, all I can say is, the browser popped that as a choice then I clicked in the title box. I must have typed that at one time in the past, but I don't remember when. It's as good a choice as any, though, and may well be an overarching theme for the entire blog.
Yes, my name is James Hawk. It's one of my two names; being an adopted child, I'm blessed with a birth name and an adopted name. I use my adopted name for everything but writing. Using both names allows me to insulate my business life from my personal and writing life. No reason to embarrass my employer with what I'm going to write here--although it will never chronicle drunken escapades or regrettable party incidents, or anything else that might get me fired. That's because that sort of thing never happens to me, with me, or around me. My opinions on politics, religion, and modern culture, however, might run contrary to what Human Resources thinks I should practice (if not outright believe), and since employers like to watch what employees do on the social web these days, I think I'll just be James Hawk here and my other self at work. James Hawk doesn't work for the company.
So begins the blog of what I believe. Perhaps this is nothing more than an extended credo, and not all of it explicit. I have no illusions regarding who might be reading this--I expect I'll be the only one. It will help me get my thoughts in order.
