A pile of driftwood

Something cute I found this afternoon while digging through a luggage chest I bought at an estate sale - what appears to be a love letter, or perhaps the draft of one, or the beginning of a wedding vow, with accompanying doodle of the presumed beloved (or lover?).

There's no date anywhere, but I'm guessing late 80s or early 90s based on other documents I found in the chest.

The text, as best I can tell:

my love my love with the burly curly crop ha
earl you earl
my husband how i believe in our union
our love feels like it will be g
our love
the sense of you + i

there is true in 'you + i'
sense in being together
the only right sense i see for me
is to always to be together with thee.
Treasures feeling sensing the adventures touching , tasting , testing
together, touching tasting testing a world of adventure good days
my love ,
is ours our days will begood days we'll see.

I'm glad I found this little expression of love, tucked away, likely long forgotten, frozen in time. I hope their lives were as wonderful as they wanted them to be.

Okay. Let's take it from the top, one more time.

Creating a website has been a personal goal of mine for nearly two decades, now. After putting it off countless times, the combination of unemployment + learning Python + the death of social media has finally spurred me to action. So here it is: a tiny blog in the far reaches of the 'net. It feels a bit like when I bought my first motorcycle: this property is small, and simple, but it is mine to maintain and use as I see fit.

I was expecting the process of making a website to be a lot more painful, to be honest. Domain registration, site hosting, slapping together enough HTML to make it readable - the whole process took maybe five hours. Yet another example of the size of the problem being much larger in my head than in reality I suppose.

So what will I be using this site for? Writing about whatever strikes my fancy, of course! I'd like to use it as a journal/notebook of sorts, recording my process of gaining knowledge, learning skills, and generally experiencing new or interesting things. Some topics I'm interested in include bicycling, programming, biotechnology, cooking, woodworking, and hiking/camping. So, pretty much what you'd expect from a guy who sets up his own website. I'd like to update this site at least weekly, and ideally more often, once I have the rest of the site sorted out. Pending my time, energy, and attention, of course.

See you around, hopefully.
