Welcome Aboard!

This site was created to chronicle my travels for friends and family who might be interested.

Given the uncertain future of social media, I’ve decided not to use a platform like Facebook for this purpose, but rather a plain old self-hosted blog where I retain ownership of the data and have at least some control over how it is used. Yes I realize this is using a decades-old solution to a modern day problem, but if we’ve learned one thing from Hollywood, it’s that old tech is best when the machines inevitably run amok.

As a hobby project, it should be considered a constant work in progress. My focus is on the content, but formatting here may change from time to time as I discover better ways to present it. I am supposed to be retired after all, so no fair critiquing character kerning or image aspect ratios.

Happy trails!
