I'm an occasional blogger. I have a general-interest blog, plus I've written about the 2008 remodel of my master bedroom and my 2009 vacation to Italy. You can also read my current blog about my plans for my 2012 vacation to Scandinavia.
holiday letters
1996 was a momentous year for me. I turned 40, but that wasn't even the most significant event of the year. In 1996, I left my career as a choral conductor/educator behind me, and I entered the high tech world.
In order to catch up all my friends with the big change in my life, I wrote a holiday letter that year. I'd never written one before. In fact, I'd pretty much eschewed them, fearful of falling into the trap of chronicling a boring year for a bored audience.
But I made up my mind to do it in a way that would entertain, and people seemed to enjoy it, so it sort of turned into a tradition. In fact, over the years, people have told me that they actually look forward to my holiday letter. Each year, it gets harder and harder to come up with a new theme, but I enjoy the challenge.
Anyway, click the links below to catch up with my life since 1996.
