My First’s
This simply a list of all the things that happen to me for the first time over here. I will try to keep it updated. But you will have to check back periodically since the RSS feed won’t tell you every time I update it. Some of these things are explained more fully in other blogs. If you are curious about something you can check the blogs that are dated about the same time. Or simply write and ask me.
