February 4, 2003 � The world teeters on the brink of yet another war, Chinese New Year (my very own Year of the Ram) is but days old, Valentine�s Day is just around the corner and here, on this specific date, a small milestone is reached as this blog turns one year old.

If I had the time I might use this anniversary as an excuse to engage in some rumination about the meaning and nature of blogging, an opportunity to ramble over the well trodden path of speculation about just what it is we are creating here.

As I plan to spend all free time this week with Sarah before she travels again, however, I am squeezing this post out during stolen minutes at work and have only time enough to note the date and to thank you for reading.
