The Inaugural Post

So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years…

Welcome, welcome, and a warm hello to everyone reading the first sputterings of Tavern Banter, a modest resource for yours truly, Hal, to talk aloud about random musings. It’s high time I got on the blog train, though I can only imagine a few readers to ever glance across these pixels. For those interested, expect a common-man’s point of view on a selection of ideas important to a regular bloke like myself. Lots of discussion will involve our country’s favorite pastime (in case you forgot, it’s still baseball), reflections on my unhealthy love of classic rock, and perhaps most importantly, the future of our country in regards to the path President Reagan and other values-driven leaders set us upon many moons ago. Of course, many other topics will be addressed as usually this writing will be stream-of-conscious rants, but I promise to at least try and keep it interesting.

And now a little background:

You can call me Hal. I am a college student at the beautiful Pepperdine University in Malibu, California, though I am a proud citizen of the great state of Connecticut. Born and raised in the same house in Fairfield, I am very privileged to enjoy a strong family and incredible friends and peers. I am studying political science and one day hope to lead with the same values that have worked so well for families like mine across New England and more importantly across the country. Still, that’s a bit down the line as now I’m nothing but a wide-eyed outsider trying to take it all in. Raw, inexperienced… I think a small-time blog is good for a first gig.

This is all for now, but soon I’ll get you some more juicy material.

Until next time…
