This is the beginning of the online Journal from my move to the farm in 2000.

The story and the other entries here are made on static pages, rather than dynamic “blog” format, since the material is older.

You can access it from the primary “personal blog” page, by scrolling down to the bottom where the static pages are stored (these are white text on black writing). On the right hand side of the personal blog page, you will also see an index for these entries.

Enjoy!

• Is there anything I can do now to make 2004 move a bit slower?
