Beginning, beginning, beginning

I decided that, unlike at my last post where I seemed to drop off the face of the earth for most of my friends and family, I would make a concerted effort to write something each week while posted in Baghdad. I've been here four weeks, and have done nothing of the sort. I created this site just after arriving, because the trip over was such an adventure, I knew I had to start right away. Instead, I am starting now before too much slips my mind.

I like the quote at the top...its a nice way to think of a journal which is accessible to friends and family. You cannot physically be a part of my experiences, except through the ideas that they inspire and reflect.

My goal is to add a post once a week, sometime on Friday or Saturday. Check back if you are interested.
