Hello, welcome to my new blog.

I have never particularly liked my name, so it has surprised some that I have chosen it as the domain name for my new website. Truth is, I tried to change my name but no one would play along. I wanted to be, at least, Bill Beaton. It wouldn’t have been a big stretch, since my middle name is William.
 
However, my family and friends won’t call me Bill. I’ve been told adamantly by people whose judgement I respect, that it is a terrible name. A name unbefitting of my greatness – thanks Kristen! Ok, she didn’t say it in those words, but this was clearly what she meant.
 
Anyway, the point is that I have decided to give my real name another chance to attach itself. I still liked Bill though. RIP.
