Counterpoint - My introduction

So I am going to try my hand at this whole blogging thang, although with facebook, twitter, etc. it seems like it could be somewhat past its time.

Briefly introducing myself, if you don't already know me, I am a 42 year old woman that lives in the Syracuse area with my dog Molly.

I named my blog "Counterpoint" because it seems to hit on a few different aspects of my personality or what I would actually write about in a blog. One of my main interests is music. In music, counterpoint is the relationship between two or more voices that are independent in contour and rhythm and are harmonically interdependent. In its most general aspect, counterpoint involves the writing of musical lines that sound very different and move independently from each other but sound harmonious when played simultaneously. (Yes I stole this from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Counterpoint)

Counterpoint also communicates that there are other points of view and with the musical connection that even different opposing view points work together can give you a better idea of the big picture. That being said, if I offer my opinion in any of these future blogs, I welcome hearing other people's ideas as long as they are respectful in their language!

Well, that's it for now. I am about to post my first real blog. This was just an introduction. Nice to meet you.
