Now, I feel like I’m ‘parking the car before I arrive.’  What, huh?

Well, for those of you that canoe the easy way (i.e. drifting downstream) like we do, one needs to park a car at the downstream location so that you have a way to get back home — parking the car before you get there.

That’s what I feel like this blog has become — a parking spot for a future arrival.  I trust that it won’t stay that way, but for the next few weeks, I expect that it’s going to be just that (and collecting a bit of cyber dust).

So, I’ll see you downstream (and I will get there, Lord willing).

Thanks for reading.
