HELLO!

After several years of blogging on a paid site–http://blogit.com–and a few years editorializing on Facebook, it’s time to go beyond those limited landscapes and head cross-country.

What I publish here will reflect my own considered opinions, beliefs, and philosophies derived from a lifetime of experience and observation. My intent to stimulate reconsideration of cherished old beliefs–whether to update or confirm–in myself and in my readers. I am happy to discuss, clarify, explain my ideas with courtesy and respect to anyone who approaches with courtesy and respect. That we agree is not required, but civility is.

If you are inspired to post manifesto-style comments, please get your own blog, and only summarize your point(s) on mine.

If you are moved to share excerpts of my writing, please ask first.
