Not that it needs explaining, but my blogging intent is to get back to where I was with a previous blog, “Hidden Petroglyph”.  It was hosted by Microsoft Spaces and disappeared when they got rid of Spaces in March, 2011, – along with about ten years of stories, reminisces, photos, etc.  Yeh, I know, they gave us six months notice so we could transfer it over to WordPress, but, I wasn’t really paying attention and the deadline passed without my taking action.

As a result, I lost the story about hiking with my daughter, Kimberly, and son-in-law, Scotty, on the Havasupai trail when we got caught in a flash flood and “search and rescue” was out looking for us.  I also lost the opening gambit of that blog which was a poem-like piece of writing about me and petroglyphs.

Anyway, my intention with this blog is to create similar pieces and, over time, rebuild a blog that will capture some of the essence of my way of life as I go through my sixties and seventies.  And this time I will see if I can do something to have it in more than one place – or protected from some idiots destroying it.

Them’s my thoughts and I’m sticking to them.  More later.  Chores to do right now…  🙂
