Just testing out this whole blog world. Bound journals have never really seemed to work, I end up with a few pages of thoughts and then a mostly empty book ... and then when it occurs to me to add something (usually much later), I get the urge to go buy a fresh new one because THIS TIME I'm really going to be good about keeping up. Well - no more tree killing. From now on, my big lapses do nothing but perhaps make for some disjointed reading.
