Good morning and welcome!

"The time has come," the Walrus said,"To talk of many things:Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--Of cabbages--and kings--And why the sea is boiling hot--And whether pigs have wings." 
--From Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There, by Lewis Carroll
We're a few days into 2015 and I have been ruminating (what a wonderful word, ruminate) on social media and internet presence for quite some time. And thus, it's the right moment to create a certain schism with facebook (which is an ok medium for being free but isn't exactly what I want) and start posting more of my thoughts elsewhere (and I do realize that blogger is owned by google, but if I keep going down these tangents I will never write anything. My intent is to eventually purchase domain and hosting and move to the wordpress platform). And so. New blog.

The purpose of this blog is to get me to write more, and thus write better. I'm not planning on restricting myself on subject, though I do have a personal bias. Anything I post here is for the whole world to see, whether or not it is seen. I do have a variety of natural focii, as do we all. These may include transportation, human rights, fiber arts, personal issues, and anything else I find particularly relevant. Perhaps I'll even find a way to write poetry and fiction again, after taking many years off.

We shall see.
