The very first post

I realize this information is going to appear at the bottom of all that's to come, but maybe that's just as good a place to explain everything as any. In an effort to overcome fears of presenting and publishing written work, I am going to post drafts, revisions, and first efforts at writing pieces, recent and older, and use this space as a honing-place - a place to whittle, refine, and rework pieces. And maybe add some photos and incidental writings from travel.
