Experiment. Have fun. Bend the rules. Break the rules. See what something will do. Life is too short not to mess around with things and see what happens.

This week's blogenning theme is a little more open ended that the last, in an effort to acommodate people who aren't about to have, or haven't just had, a birthday.

It is really important to put your best foot forward in everything you do. Historically I've not always been good at this.... Continue Reading →
My weekends, though often useful and interesting to me, rarely seem to yield something to talk about up here. I'm delighted, with that in mind, that a couple of really fun things happened this weekend that I can talk about. I'm further delighted to say I was there with camera in hand so I can...
