"Why?"    Anyone who stumbles into this website might wonder what the point is; I'm clearly just an average guy with mediocre talents and limited interests.  Well, it serves to keep friends and family, most of whom are geographically quite removed, in touch with us and what's going on in our lives.  It is a digital text and photo diary for us, stretching back nineteen years (yes, I was an original html code writer, before wysiwsg editors came along).  It is portal for some of my favourite web pages, sites and activities, and a place for personal reflection, along the lines of Socrates' famous quote at his trial: "The unexamined life is not worth living."  Which I presume to expand in a more cheerful way as, "A life - your life, anyone's life, life itself - is worthy of reflection, celebration and sharing."
