This is the totally revamped version of my personal corner of cyberspace.  I'm still working to get all the pages moved over to the new site.  [I couldn't believe how much I had written in the original site.]  Anyway, the options you see here are what's been done already.  Other things will be added as I can get to them.  I hope you enjoy browsing and reading.

Here are a few photos of my various "offices"  The photo at left was on a beach at Koh Phayam off the west coast of Thailand.  What can I say... it doesn't suck!  ;-)

I'll be adding an entry to my Things I've Learned page about this one, which is...  just because countries are neighbors, it doesn't always mean they accept each other's currencies.

Ok, so this is a bit late (I'm posting this in Aug, 2011), but maybe it will help all my friends back in Texas think "cool" thoughts while enduring temperatures of 100 to 120F (38 to 48C).  This was Christmas 2010, with rather warm temps there at the time.  That's one thing that made it a bit strange, though I guess people in Australia and New Zealand are used to having balmy Christmas weather.

I had no idea what to expect as I headed for Croatia. Little did I know I would find what has turned out to be probably the best preserved (or, rather, restored) Old Town I've seen so far in my travels.
