Entering the World of Blogging

Given that most of my family blogs, and even somewhat of an extended family tradition I thought I might try my hand at this whole blogging thing.  I planned on getting one anyway before I headed away in the Fall to do an international nursing placement, hopefully in Tanzania.  While I am a big fan of the phrase "better late then never," I do however have a bit of extra time on my hands currently with the semester wrapping up and thought I might try starting something early for once. 
The title is inspired by a quotation by Yose ben Yoezer; "Let your houses be meeting places for Rabbis, and cover yourself in the dust of their feet, and drink in their words thirstily."  I hope that as I adventure through life I will be able to cover myself in the dust of my Rabbi's feet. 
I know that I am not a great writer, or really that exciting but i hope that I can entertain at least a few individuals with my musings.  Enjoy!
