Ink on paper

This weekend I received a remarkable surprise gift. It is a book, created by my daughter, of photos I took in the early 2000s, along with selected posts from the original iteration of this blog, some of which date back to July 2002. That was a fun era in so many ways. Here on the internet, there was no social media yet except for the bloggers, who compared to today's universe of posters were a rare breed. It was the readership that made the whole thing work, and that's still true in today's much different climate. Leafing through a print edition of the early days has stirred up some ghosts, that's for sure. A shout out to anybody from those halcyon days who's still around in the current old-guy phase.
