This web site exists mainly to help us learn about publishing to the web and to have a good time in the process.  We'll let friends and family know the url and if someone else stumbles on it, well  that's fine.  We are interested in many things, but not politics especially, as the shelf life of this is generally too short for the scope of the associated passions.  We have opinions, and we'll share them when it seems like a good idea.

One of us is very interested in digital images, taken with a Olympus C2100UZ camera, so there are photo pages of images to look at.  All images on this site were produced by us, with one exception, and that will be replaced eventually.  Any good humor that strays our way will go on this site.  Some personal writings too will show up, and some writings of others that impress us, will appear.  We have some links to other sites and will change these over time.

We'll let this site grow and change as it will, and as our fancy takes us.  Any hobby horses we ride will no doubt go back in the stable fairly soon, to make way for something new.

UPDATE:  November 12, 2006  We have more room now with a new ISP, so that means more pictures.  Retired pages will come back, then (eventually) they will be retired again to allow for new images.  Ah change, what would we do without it?

UPDATE: August, 2008.  Our ISP has granted more room again, so I have created a new major link and added some digital paintings.
