Dear Friends,

For a long time now, I had been mulling the idea of making my own Blog but never got around to do it. Until now.

With the whole family on vacaion, I finally have all the time to spend as I please with no interruption and no "curfew" to be in bed before midnight. At the moment, I am my own boss and Master of My Own Universe!

So as I sit here in front of the keyboard, I am pondering what I have to say to you all. Should I make an earthshaking announcement that I have just discovered the Unified Grand Theory of Relativity that had eluded Albert Einstein (drum roll, please......!)? Should I tell you all about my surefire plan to take over the government (careful.... in these times, those could be dangerous thoughts)? Or should I just say Hello, Welcome and Goodbye?

Well, nah, I felt I should do none of the above.

Instead, I am just going to share with you first some pix of a recent trip to India and follow it up with a string of articles as the days go by and as I get more familiar with this blogging thing.

Meanwhile, I gotta go and not waste both of our time with idle prattle. Got a lot of pix to edit!

But yeah, welcome.......and wherever we may all be, let's try to have fun.

Thanks for the indulgence.
