In 2011-2012, while living in Scotland, I  maintained a blog entitled ‘Edinburgh Sojourn’. Sometimes I published a post a day for several days, then nothing for a few weeks. I wanted to share my experiences with friends, and to keep some sort of permanent record for myself. One of those posts recently got a comment, so I know the blog is still being read.

Now that I’m ‘retired’ (still figuring out what that means, so this blog may touch on that from time to time), I want to make more time to write (interspersed with research for new books, knitting, soapstone carving, and travel). I hope you find my posts entertaining, thought-provoking, or even just an enjoyable diversion.
