A friend of mine thought that was hilarious when I first said it.

But just plain-old “greetings and salutations” got kind of plain and old eventually, so I came up with a few variations:

  • Greetings and Ovations! (something you’d say to a performer)
  • Greetings and Activation! (what Windows does when you start it up for the first time)
  • Greetings and Solicitations! (the basic script of a telemarketer)

These phrases are just the ticket if you’re a photographer who wants to capture some really weird facial expressions. :-P

So may I repeat to you: “Greetings and Salutations!” Welcome to my blog! :-D
