Welcome to Purgatory

My life, currently, is Purgatory. A state of limbo, neither Heaven nor Hell, where sometimes my best efforts and attempts to improve things end up with me...well, waiting for an outcome, a decision, or an improvement.

This sounds a bit too passive, and perhaps a bit too defeatist, but it is what it is.

This is no way to live.

One of the few affordable luxuries in my life - besides a few oils and some canvases - is the simple pleasure of a cheeseburger. And while sitting at the bar of a local restaurant, savoring my most recent cheeseburger, it dawned on me that it was time to be a bit more proactive. If I love writing, love bars, and love cheeseburgers so much, why not find a way to get paid to write about the various cheeseburgers served at local establishments!

Recently, I applied to do a column for an online newspaper/magazine, where I would discuss the cheeseburger....and where to find good ones in the Capital Region. I would also discuss the different choices we have for our cheeseburgers, what places had the best cheeseburgers, what kind of beer or wine goes well with any cheeseburger, and how I would avoid getting fat while engaging in this odyssey.

Should this attempt to get paid to write about cheeseburgers fail, I've decided that I should write the column as a blog.

This is that blog.

Welcome to Cheeseburgers in Purgatory.
