Stacks of Christmas Cards

Christmas is over, but a few tardy Christmas cards will still float in over the next few days. Not for us -- as we received a total of 5 cards this year.

My parents, however, stockpiled stacks of stamped, addressed, printed and handwritten cards from more than 50-years' worth of acquaintances. Those are my dad's feet and glasses to the left, where he sat to peruse the cards.

Home, Sweet Home

I'm here. It's like moving in. I'm unpacking my boxes, setting up the place, making it feel more like home. Someone should really bring me freshly baked cookies.

This Web site is like my first house. I'm on my own for the first time -- no more bosses, staff meetings, potluck lunches, happy hours. I'm self-employed, and this site proves it.

As I settle in, there will be some rearranging. What does this blog need to look like? What can I offer readers that no one else can? How will my passions feed this space?
