A lot to figure out as I begin my “own” blog site, but here it is.  Thanks to all of you who have encouraged my writing.  My parents always wanted me to write professionally (as that was my young person’s dream).  None of us knew it would be their illnesses and deaths that would finally inspire me to write for public consumption, but I think they would be damn proud of and touched by it.

So, here’s to them – and to all of you who read my musings and told me to keep them coming.  Thanks to Pete for helping me navigate the technical side of blogging.  More later!
