/ First Post!

Welcome to my blog!

This is my 3rd attempt at trying to maintain a personal web site. The last edition went about 7 years between updates, I just didn’t have time. I was looking at it one day and realized that according to it, I was still married and only had 2 kids instead of 3. Hopefully, I’ll try to keep this version a little more up to date. 😀

I’m using the [WordPress](http://www.wordpress.org/)
 web blog software, with a few add ons. The current theme is an adaptation of the Aurora them by Mathew Browne of [MB Web Design](http://www.mbwebdesign.co.uk/)
, but I’ve swapped in an Earthrise photo taken by the [Kuguya (SELENE) space probe](http://www.selene.jaxa.jp/en/greeting/greeting_e.htm)
 found on [Astronomy Picture of the Day](http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/ap071120.html)
. I hope to make further refinements on the theme later, time permitting.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope to see you again soon!
