Spring Cleaning and Blog Reboot

I began this blog to record my journeys in decluttering, downsizing my copious stuff, and building a tiny house.  As Jim Steinman had Meat Loaf sing, "two out of three ain't bad", but circumstances didn't allow me to live in the house I had built.

It's March 25th, 2018 -- a day close to my Hobbitsh heart:  this is the anniversary of the day (on the modern calendar) when Frodo Baggins and Samwise Gamgee destroyed the Great Ring and defeated Sauron.  It's also a fine Spring day among the Great Lakes (Canadian side), making it a good day for a virtual Spring Cleaning.  A reboot of this blog is on order -- it shall be a cobwebsite no longer!  Many thanks to my brother, Bruce McMicking, for the reminding nudge.

Unless true inspiration for a specific focus strikes me, this shall be a "shoes and ships and sealing wax, and cabbages and kings" kind of a blog.  There will be things about canoeing and elder care, about tiny houses and craft beer, perhaps some bits about art and writing and wine-making and my special-needs Siamese cats and travel and photography (underwater and not-) and .... if there's something you'd like to see me write about, you're invited to leave a polite note below.
