From this, I would guess that you're in your 30's. People who were pre-teens to teens in the Reagan administration picked this idiosyncrasy up since that's the way he answered most of the questions in his press conferences (without a prepared text). I taught 7th and 8th graders in 1985, and all of their essays started with the word, "Well."
For me, it's better than starting everything with "Um," using "you know" throughout the conversation, and today's linguistic bastardization, inserting "like" between every verb and direct object.
This bass was, like, better with pink strings....
