Start Here

I purposefully try to keep the menu options on my website at a minimum, so you may be confused about where to begin once you read a few stories on the front page. Let me try to give you some options here. Think of this as something of a table of contents.

  • Shiki’s Pear Tree – This was the first post I did on this new site and still one of my favorites. Go read it if you are looking for some good reading. As I restore old content, it may no longer show up as the oldest post on this site (but it totally is).


  • Archive – This has every post I’ve ever made organized by date. I’m slowly pulling out some tags too for that browsing option. There is a list of more favorite posts here too. There are a few more favorite posts set off on this page too.
  • About – This gives some info about me and about this website.
  • Contact – My contact info.
  • FAQ – Some of the questions I’ve been asked over the years, set off for everyone to see.
  • Donate – Some donation info if you are willing to give your support. On some parts of my website I might still refer to a membership program. That turned out to be more work to run than it was worth, so I phased it out and now just rely on donations. I’ll eventually catch every mention of that membership program and erase it.

As I restore old content, I may add new pages, so check back sometimes.
