Welcome Aboard, People

You guys know the jugalbandi concept, na?
Two people sit on a stage at six in the morning, or some equally ghastly hour at night, and make pretty much the same kind of music from different instruments. At an ever increasing pace, until a climax is reached, and the hall bursts into rapturous applause.
Like that only, this all is.
Which brings me, in decidedly roundabout manner, to what we shall call the topic of this blog.
Dennis Zachariah Alexander.
Buddy, brother, besht friend, and now, fellow blogger.
Describing Dennis is a tall task at the best of times. To do it within the limits of the average posting is an awesome challenge.
Insanely funny, awe-inspringly cynical, fantastic writer, and a wonderful, wonderful person. Of late, has displayed worrisome tendencies to indulge in some seriously scary philosophizing, and even more worryingly, has done so when completely sober. But that niggling misfire apart, he is brilliant.
He shall also be the guy who'll follow up this piece on this blog.
For Dennis Zachariah Alexander and I, the undersigned, are going to write on this blog together.
If you must blame somebody, sue Old Monk. All his fault. And there was a lot of him around that night.
But the concept of the blog is, I write a piece, and Denny boy follows up. And I follow up on what he's written, and.... well, most of you are fairly bright people... you get the picture.
No time limit on the postings, no fixed schedule that we follow. Essentially two people who have considerable difficulty in staying sober making up disjointed conversation as they go along.
You, dear reader, get bombarded with the output.
Enjoy.
Xander, over to you.
