I’ve started this blog as a gift for my sisters. I plan to share it with my son and extended friends and family as well, but mostly, this is for Peeper and Sheesh. Peep requested that I start recording familial memories that she has lost and Sheesh has been waiting for me to write the Great American Novel for two decades now. I’m not convinced I have a G.A.N. in me, but I do have scattered memories and ideas floating around in what is left of my once top-notch brain. This is my attempt to open the barn door and let them out.

For many people, today represents renewal, rebirth, the ultimate second chance at new life, so it seemed an appropriate time to honor Peep’s request. Who knows how long this blog will last. I am famous for starting new projects, jumping in headfirst and then – SQUIRREL! I have been on the waning side of fifty for a number of years now, and still get distracted by shiny things. Work and health issues also tend to interfere with setting up any semblance of a regular writing schedule, but you never know what might happen. My plan is to use this space write a little every day about things I see, things I remember, things I dreams about. I am hoping you will enjoy the ride, but if you decide to get off at the next exit, that’s okay. I’m still trying to figure all this out so I get it if you don’t get it. In the words of one of the truly great American writers, Robert Heinlein, I am only egg. And I am at peace with that. Have a blessed and beautiful Easter!
