This is my personal site and I don’t publish this stuff because I presume it to be universally fascinating (though that would be AWESOME, wouldn’t it?) but because I take lots of pictures, think thoughts, travel, make stuff and do things about which my friends and family may want to know. And this blog allows me to simply direct them here rather than actually remember to send them photos I have taken, etc., not to mention provides me with an online repository for stuff I have seen and done over the last decade, most of which I have no hope of recalling without some assistance.
