As the scent of elderberry candles mixes with that of the twenty-three-foot Scotch pine from which they are hung, I recline here in my study and contemplate the quiet joys of the Christmas season while watching my three loyal rottweilers playfully contest ownership of a pig femur at my feet. Perhaps later I shall hammer out some carols on my collection of decommissioned church bells, or fashion some manner of snow-creature upon the grounds of my estate. Truly it is a joyous time of year; my one regret is that it inevitably passes all too quickly.
But pray forgive me: I have begun this entry without antecedent, and have yet to offer you anything in the way of a proper introduction!
My name is Cornelius Eldrich, and I have only just recently begun to chart a course through these and various other Internets after receiving my very first computer as a lagniappe with my purchase of a 19XRW Hoverwing. It is my intent here to establish a biographical log of my adventures in this new medium, along with tales of various cultural artifacts that I feel the world at large has a right to know more about. I have long been a devotee of seeking out and collecting obscure novelties, and indeed it appears that the horsepower of the many "search engines" I have tried has proven insufficient in conjuring up any existing reference to many of them.
I very much hope you'll join me in this exciting new venture and offer up your own opinions, queries and grievances as you see fit. Happy journeys to you all, in the holiday season and beyond!
