In choosing the name for this blog, I wanted to capture my quintessence--the one defining characteristic for which I am known above all else. After weeks of deliberation and finally compiling a short list of potential names, I did what any sensible man would do: I rejected them all in favor of a name suggested by my wife.
It really is better than any name I had come up with. There’s not another word I’ve heard more people use to describe me than deliberate, and rightfully so, for I can’t think of a single thing I do that could not be described as such, from prioritizing tasks at work to the order in which I put on my socks and shoes (left then right, in case you were wondering).
I anticipate that posts to this blog will be crafted with similar such contrivance, keeping the reader informed of the major events in my life in an orderly manner, with occasional OCPD indulgences, exiguous glimpses into my eccentric nature, lame attempts at self-deprecating humor, and plenty of music/80s references.
Thus begins Deliberately Jeff.
