What is in a name?

Apparently more than I realize. This is my second, or third, attempt at a blog. My second attempt lasted all of a few hours. I wanted the blog's name to convey that this was a place where I could express my thoughts. I wanted it to be whimsical. So, I came up with "Scott's Noodle". The first two people I told about it (who shall remain anonymous) both laughed and said it made them think of something other than my mind. Fantastic.

I can see it all unfolding now... thousands upon thousands, perhaps even hundreds of thousands, come to read my blog, not because they appreciate my keen insight into important issues or my clear and direct writing style, but instead because someone asked them, "Have you seen Scott's Noodle yet? Ha ha ha ha..." or "Hey, go check out Scott's Noodle. It's on the internet. Ha ha ha ha..."

And so "Scott's Noodle" was to be but a very brief blip in the universe. Although it did not have time to grow in fame or importance (there was only a single post), it did give birth to this blog. Many of you might catch my allusion to Winnie the Pooh and his Thoughtful Spot. It's where he goes to think, think, think. And so this blog will be my place to do the same.

Peace.
