Welcome

Many of you who have commented on my Facebook posts, have encouraged me to start a blog.  I'm happy to oblige, albeit reluctantly. 

This blog will be irregular, sporadic, and above all irreverent.  The subjects will be random -- politics, religion, sports, whatever happens to be on my mind at the time.  And yes, you will probably at some point be offended, since if I'm not offending someone, I'm not really doing my job.

As for the name -- anyone who is familiar with my native and beloved Syracuse, New York, will understand that salt potatoes are a delicious delecacy known only to Central New Yorkers.  Essentially, small new potatoes boiled in an absolutely ungodly amount of salt, served immediately with melted butter dripped over the potato's crystallized skin.  Mmmmmmmmmm.  So, essentially, the title is an homage to my upbringing and you can insert any double meaning you wish to it.

I don't know how long I will do the blog, or how often.  You are welcome to follow it if you wish, or not.  Feel free to comment on any of my entries that you wish.  Who knows?  It could be fun.
