About Me


All my life I have heard that I should find one thing at which I could excel, and then work, work, work, to become the best at it.  Well, I'm something north of 50 and I have not discovered what it is that I do excellently. Moreover, "work, work, work" just doesn't sound like the way I want to spend my days. I mostly just try to get pretty good at something and then move on to something else.  Unless it's too hard, in which case I'm pretty good at giving up sooner.


So, this blog will just have to be about whatever interests me at the time--that "works, works works" for me.  I invite you to join me on my Dilettante's Journey. And if you enjoy the trip, please click on the StumbleUpon button below to spread the word.
