STATEMENT OF INTENT

INTRODUCTION
Assignment: write an opening statement for my WEBSITE. I need to create something that will encourage my visitor to explore what I have to offer.
As I was thinking about a possible purpose for my website – one that I can use as an introduction – it occurred to me what a wonderful sounding board this space actually is, or at least could be – kind of a twitter or facebook outlet without the negative attachments.
What a cool idea; but – that sounds good but on second thought it sounds like an awful lot of work, so I suppose what it will be is a very much watered down version: about me, my life and I – whatever floats my boat.


I have a Welcome and Index page; where I talk about my wonderful title and how I was able to retrieve it from the morass of lost or deleted computer material, as well as a list of my, a special page to showcase my creative efforts – other than my writing which is here, and an OPED page where I intend to share my current interests.
As a possible positive teaser I should like to give a hint as to what kind of articles lie herein: mostly they are my travel journals describing the trips I have been privileged to go on, but there are others. The first formal paper I undertook discusses traveling and cruises – of course this is an ongoing subject owing to my journals, another describes retirement and how it effected me – better now, thankfully. My most recent involves what I consider to be my very unique approach to the game of Sudoku.


Virginia Garden Week is another of my very favorite activities but amazingly enough I have kept virtually no journal and have made no mention of it here in my Website. I think this demands to be rectified ASAP – we’ll see how long that takes. And of course I shall be including future trips – Japan and Norway in the Winter are in the offing.
I think my journalistic style is improving.


I do hope you will join me and maybe, if you feel inspired, you might write me a note. Thank you so very much.
