Reminiscing

I’ve been pondering what to do with this site. It needs to be refreshed. But I don’t want to do anything stupid, as I’m sure to, and accidentally delete the last four years of my life completely. Do I start out fresh, from scratch? Or do I somehow figure out […]

Inside of me

During the Great Strides Walk this weekend A very nice person (he knows who he is) made a comment recently about my photos. He said that he learns things from my photography. I was flattered, yes, but a bit surprised too. I spend a lot of time being self-critical and […]

Gone, gone, gone

I’m a bit obsessed with this tree. See here. And here. And here. Something about the thousands of delicate white blossoms makes me happy. And the fact that the tree stands gloriously in our front yard ensures that I can see those blossoms every time I gaze out the living […]

There’s nothing like writing web content about interpersonal communication while listening to the escapades of […]
