I have a small storm through which I need to navigate over the next four to six weeks. I don’t have a great strategy yet, as the character of these troubled skies is considerably different than skies I’ve seen before. The storm is unavoidable. It could spell catastrophe. It could leave things damaged. But overall journey, despite the difficult straits, should prove far more rewarding than the ultimate destination, be that a ship wreck on a deserted atoll or Xanadu, even far more rewarding than the normal cruise line my life has been taking for several years.

This blog is part of that journey. I don’t know if I’ll ever contribute to it, if it will prove useful, if my traveling companion will ever see it. This may be the last post. This may be the first of many self indulgent vents. I simply don’t know yet.
