I decided to try out this blogging world, for a few reasons. First, I do genuinely like to write, and I kid myself that there might be some folks interested in what I have to say. Second, like so many of us, I’d like to be able to update friends and family, maybe even more often than once a year. Sadly, we find ourselves getting together (with friends and family) much less often than we’d like — maybe the blogs will help prompt some conversation and contact? We’ll see.

I plan to write up anything that I find interesting – – travels, projects, health, politics, whatever. The superb thing about blogs is, the reader can ignore the writer completely with no insult whatsoever (kinda different from conversations).
