Notes from the Trail

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

April Fool’s Day came and went for me, and surprisingly - even shockingly - I never once said, shouted, or jubilantly screamed, “April Fools!” I’m a little disappointed in myself. On top of that, no one said it to me either. For those of you who know me well, this startling omission from the first day of April is obviously a sign of the end times. It’s, well, unheard of.

Therefore, to make up for it, I’m devoting April to lighter posts - for the most part. I hope to be bringing you silliness and frivolity. I’ll be trying to lean to the lighter side this month. We’ll see how it goes. For a month that starts with a laugh, then celebrates a Resurrection, requires tax filing and supposedly brings showers, it should be pretty busy.

And as a reminder, for you lurkers out there, feel free to share a joke or thought at the campfire. And for all the friends who’ve been on the trail with me for a while, I’m immensely glad you’re here and are continuing the adventure with me.

I don’t know about you, but 2006 seem to drain out faster than I imagined. It was a little like watching the last inch or so of water in the tub turn tornadic as it vanished in a defiant slurp. Where did the year go? Of course, that begs the next question: What does 2007 hold for us all?

Here at Notes, I hope you’re willing to share in this journey with each other. The journey is enhanced and enjoyed when you talk along the trail. So you lurkers out there, leave a thought or two for us to chew on beside the embers of the fading fire. And for all the friends who’ve been on the trail with me for a while, I’m immensely glad you’re here and are continuing the adventure with me.

Thanks for stopping by Notes during the holiday season! I wish you and yours the very merriest of Christmi (is that plural of Christmas?). The time of year is significant for many cultures around the world, and ours is no different. As winter blows its cold breath down the our necks, our hearths become more central. Would that we also pay more attention to our hearts. The season offers us little apart from a grander perspective. For Christmas is about life. May you have a manger encounter this season.

If you’re seeing this post, then you’ve arrived at the newly-located blog. Notes from the Trail now has its own space on my server rather than just a subfolder. (If that made your head spin, it’s OK; you’re normal.)

I hope you leave a comment to let me know when you can see this site… It takes up to 48 hours to bounce around the internet, so you may see this post one moment and then the “Groovy Moving” post (which is the old location) another.

At any rate, I’m glad you’re here and ready to take up the journey together.

Thanks for stopping by the newly-ported blog! I’ve gone to Wordpress now, and I’m looking forward to learning it as a comprehensive design and site tool. You may see a few theme changes in the next week or so while I get this design or another refined.

For those of you who may be a little site-challenged, let me offer the following tips:
