Checking out the bit between departure and arrival. I hope I never get there.
This is a journal more than a blog.
Very self-centred. It is written for some future me. I am not looking for a following. You may read it. Please comment, but please don't judge. I write about what interests me, concerns me, and a bit about what happens to me. I hope some of it interests or entertains you.I should probably have titled this blog "Shit Happens". Because it does.
Sometimes I quote a song or some poetry, either just because I really like it, or because it expresses something I cannot put as eloquently into my own words. Occasionally i am brave enough to publish one of my own.

It seems that my writing style is inconsistent, or maybe the “I Write Like” webpage is. Perhaps it is just a come-on, or merely makes random reference to writers. I have cut and pasted a few of my longer blogs … Continue reading

I don’t like it. It doesn’t work the way I am used to, It doesn’t look right without my photos, and I cant find how to change the title. But there is no going back.
