What This Blog is All About
December 17, 2006

A visitor to www.drleons.com just sent an email questioning the morality of lying to children about Santa Claus. That is a topic on which I’ve had strong feelings for years. The answer will appear here later in the week.

Another visitor wrote in to ask if the purpose of my blog is to bash Rush Limbaugh. To that writer I answer with an emphatic NO. I don’t go out of my way to bash Rush, but I sometimes feel obligated to bash morons. The mere fact that Rush exemplifies the archetype “moron,” pretty much guarantees he will appear now and then in my commentaries.

Yet another visitor asked if I really have a daughter or just made her up for purposes of my commentary. (Well, he actually asked, “If you really do have a daughter, how can she stand to live with you?”) He neglected to mention what set him off.

Yes, I really do have a daughter. Together we manage a book publishing business and co-author several sites on the Internet. We both have degrees in psychology and share many of the same attitudes on life and society. That is not to say she agrees with me on everything. We do have the occasional debate (on an intellectual level, of course).

A few visitors wanted to know what this blog is all about. I suppose they feel compelled to assign me in some category. Sorry ladies and gentlemen, I decline to be categorized.

My blog is about life in general. It might be my life, someone else’s life, movies, music, psychology or even those topics you were advised by your parents to avoid in conversations with friends; like politics, religion or sex.

In all that I write, I promise my visitors consistency, honesty, reality and even sometimes warmth; tempered with a modicum of sarcasm, occasional wit and above all sincerity. There are positive aspects of life; negative aspects of life and those things somewhere in the middle. You’ll probably find me delving through that middle ground most of the time, with occasional forays into the extremes on both ends.

Thank you for spending a few of your precious moments reading my words. I sincerely hope you tune in every now and then for my take on... everything.
