A Blog begins.....

with something to talk about.

I think I am just trying to figure out where everything fits together.  In the blog of course...well maybe in everything else in this life.  I'll try to not wax on, wax off too often..I said I would try--no guarantees.  I  know there is no try, there is only do.  I have been told I like to talk..too much.  So until it gets roiling--if it takes and continues--bear with me as I learn.

This website with all of its pieces.. projects ...philosophies... contact information... a blog.. it is the sum total of what I am am and have been as a professional.  For almost 25 years I have pursued this end and I have learned much and done much. Enough that I have also been privileged to spend many years teaching what I have learned to others who have cared to listen.  To them, most of all, I am grateful.  I have become really good at what I do

(Yay and the peasant rejoice!!!!  I just figured how to get this damn picture to have text wrap around it. Of course I dont remember what I did.)

I have learned one very important thing from this process of thought, design, build and If you ever listen to one thing I have to say, remember this...you'll start, you'll pick a destination in the future and you'll start down the path.  You might reach that destination, but when you look back the path will not be the one you started on in the beginning.  However, more than likely, you will reach a point in the future and realize that your path took you places and you are now at another destination all together...and that can be cool, real cool.  Every building project I have taken on has been different but they have always fit in either of those two descriptions.  That is where I am right now.
