That's about all I have to say about that.
This is a blog about my family's attempt to, as Thoreau says, "front only the essential facts of life.. and not, when [we] came to die, discover that [we] had not lived." I don't claim that we're doing a great job--but this is our report on our efforts, such as they are! I apologize in advance that this is a blog about myself. I don't mean to be narcissistic. It's just that, as Thoreau also says: "I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well."
