........and....we're back

over the last few months, in truth, the better part of a year, a lot has changed and i have been wavering back and forth about returning to writing blog entries. i have always felt that there is something personal about writing journal style, but there is something intrinsically exhibitionist about writing a journal that others can read. i'm too lazy to write 2 of them, one public, one private, so i have neglected both.

i have started re-establishing contact with people that i have not spoken to in a long time, i guess the wheel comes 'round every once in a while. i sent the link to this blog to a friend in a vain attempt to catch her up on what i have been doing over the last few years, but found that it is explicit in some areas and deficit in others.

in the hopeful spirit this post-inauguration world, i am re-dedicating myself to this blog. using this public space, though it is only my little corner of the interweb to bounce ideas off of people and hopefully get some feedback on some of them so that i can reshape and refine them.

i may even use spell-check, but don't get your hopes up.

so, here goes.............
