hope you don’t mind…

I know one of these days I will inherit a reputation as a serial-blogroller, since half the blogs shown belong to people I don't really know. But ever since I discovered blogs (I call mine a weblog in an attempt to differentiate) I get so excited when I find one that is interesting. So, that said, I must welcome Modo Vernant Omnia, though the owner knows me not, to the blog roll. For those loyal readers who like ancient and Medieval crafts, you should look at the spinning-wheel and kick spindle videos. For those who had the same professor of Medieval studies, go ahead and reminisce on the 'story of the hundred spleens' (those of you who had this professor, you should know… those others, I am sorry that you chose an easier class).
Am I wandering like Virginia Woolf staring at a snail above her mantle… why yes I am! I suppose I will end this post now and go back to insurance for the rest of the day.

welcome
You have entered 'start your head on fire,' housed at www.robertbeverly.com. 'start your head on fire' is the blog of Robert Beverly. It is not a very serious blog. Mr. Beverly writes most of the news items, but you will also see us (Debbie and Secretia) posting from time to time to clarify things. We are his "blog secretaries."

who?
Rather than publish a biography or ask Mr. Beverly to record his memoirs (which would be dull), we thought we would post a summary for anyone who was wondering. He said we should do something like this because that's what other people's blogs have on them. Mr. Beverly goes by Rab, which is a common name for Scotsmen and their dogs. We call him Mr. Beverly in person because we're trying to talk him into a raise, but you can really call him Rab. Rab drinks gallons of coffee daily and makes jokes that we usually don't understand. We laugh politely because he writes the paychecks for Debbie and I (he hired us both as blog secretaries back in October 2006... we didn't even know what a blog was before this). Mr Beverly goes to the gym a lot, which is why he doesn't have time to type in his blog entries, and he does all kinds of weird exercises like Kung Fu and Yoga (NEVER ask him about this unless you want to hear all about martial arts). He enjoys literary analysis and esoteric reading and games like "Go" (the ancient Japanese strategy game) and chess, not to mention those weird "role playing" and "strategy" games he designs himself, all of which account for why we do not to start conversations with him. (Secretia here... what the hell was wrong with Yahtzee, I ask you?!) We like talking about peekapoos and the best grocery store sales, but we don't get to talk about that here.
