So before I got onto WordPress and started blogging here, I was on Xanga . . . my first “real” blogging experience . . . and because I’m on vacation (though vacation seems to be providing me with more, not less, blog fodder!), I thought I would pull out a few selected posts and re-publish them here . . .

so when you see “From the Xanga archives”, that’s what that is . . .

next up: “from my diary, circa 1987.” be afraid. be very afraid.
