In the beginning...

It all started with the need to create a Google account to work with the Builders Brewery calendar (which I still haven't quite figured out). 

That led to snooping around all the tools that are available on Google.  Blogger looked pretty neat, so here we are!

Having set sail on this vast uncharted ocean, only time will tell what discoveries we may make along the way!  Will we flourish with the treasures to be found upon the unknown isles, or will we founder in the waves of indifference, only to be dashed into driftwood upon the reefs of neglect? 

Only the fates can know our future, but with this beginning, in the words of Alfred, Lord Tennyson:

Come, my friends,
'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Push off, and sitting well in order smite
The sounding furrows; for my purpose holds
To sail beyond the sunset, and the baths
Of all the western stars, until I die.


It may be that the gulfs will wash us down:
It may be we shall touch the Happy Isles,
And see the great Achilles, whom we knew.

Though much is taken, much abides; and though
We are not now that strength which in the old days
Moved earth and heaven; that which we are, we are,
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
