First write

This is my first text into my new blog site. Welcome to one and all to the wild wanderings of my days, weeks and years. I hope to have some pictures of family and friends...of my walks with Cyclone (our mixed breed mutt), and commentary of life in the 21st century of a world at war within and without. Maybe its just my 2 cents worth (or 2 loonies in current currency) but it fulfills the "sweet Spirit blast" within me to speak out (plus I take advantage of the free Blog making site)! I am NOT internet savvy, save for my email account and news items, Bruce Cockburn tour dates, U2 concert update, news on Myanmar, and finding out what pets are free on Kijiji Winnipeg....ok, so I'm a little savvy.

Be on the look out for a new book I'm writing called "Why?" (no due date yet). It will attempt to explain why Steve (my loving hubby of 15 years) and I do what we do here in Winnnipeg's inner-city and overseas in our favorite Asian military dictatorship ruled country. We have been in Canada (on a more permanent basis) for one year now and many have questioned the reason of our spews, views and actions concerning the places we have chosen to live, work and raise 3 kids. I think its quite simple, many do not understand...thus a book to explain it all!

I will hopefully keep this updated 3-4 times a week. Comments are appreciated but not sought after. Let's see how this thing works!
