Lord of the Castle

You have probably noticed some changes to the blog recently…
I have been warning you that they are coming.
However, if you have clicked on any of the new buttons, you have probably learned that I am not quite finished. If I knew how to program…
But I don’t.
My ignorance forces me to employ the “let’s try this and [...]

I don’t know if you noticed, but I have changed the look of this blog. I have moved things around, changed font sizes, increased the writing area while decreasing the sidebars.

I am about to send out e-mails to announce this blog to the world. This is the culmination of roughly two months work and uncounted years of planning and dreaming.
In the last two months, I have come to know on a very personal level the tremendous resistance we face when we venture out to do [...]

I have wanted to write for years. I have owned this domain name for 2 1/2 years. I have only been writing for a few weeks and it has already changed me. How?
