What is my raison d’etre??  Besides to show off how fancy I am, using French phrases that try to convey to you my audience that I can speak French.  I cannot speak French.  If you dropped me in the French countryside I would be able to make it back to safety.  I cannot speak French, beyond some words and phrases, which I have somehow been able to retain from the fourteen years I was forced to take the language. 

For complete honesty and clarity, because a relationship without honesty is no relationship at all, to you my audience, I actually do not think I have an audience.  According to a widget or plugin, I am unclear as to which one is which or what they are or do, but this one tells me that there has been a grand total of 74 views.  Now for even more transparency 34 of those page views were over one or two days.  The people, according to the widget, who were viewing this site were French.  So it was probably Russian hackers, gooey bear or cuddle bear, I am unclear of what type of bear they are.  But if they are out there trying to hack this website, I am telling you it is not remotely worth your time.

So If you are cyber super criminal who likes what I write, why not help me somehow manufacture users and views.  That way I can convince some publisher, magazine, or basically anybody, that people like what I write so I can get paid.  I have a wife and child to support, FFS.

OK, so the next post will be about my plan, the reason d’etre.  It is a five-year plan, so at least me and Stalin have that in common.
