About this page    

    A web log (blog) is an online diary of sorts. Some people start blogs to share their innermost thoughts, others share their activities. A commonality shared by all blogs is that entries are made at snapshots at time and posted to the blog. This blog is kind of a catchall for my web page - whatever doesn't fit anywhere else will show up here, including some multimedia content having to do with weather and sunrises/sunsets. I'll condense the really interesting stuff into a quarterly personal newsletter once in a while. 

If you'd like to be notified when new blog entries are posted, join my personal Yahoo Group JSkyWatcherFriends.

This blog includes:

•     Interesting aspects of my normal day-to-day activities, such as a beautiful sunset I saw or an amusing anecdote that happened to me

•     Thoughts, essays, and musings on various subjects that tickle my brain from time to time

•     Discussion of my dreams, goals, and aspirations

•     Commentary on various aspects of the world, including geopolitics, interesting and extreme weather events, etc.

Comments on any aspect of this blog are most welcome. Please send praise, criticism, or any other comments to me.
