Just wanted to let everyone who cares know that I've started a blog dedicated to the stories of the past that really interest me.
Looking Back to Understand What's Ahead

Oh! It's Alice! Like from Alice in Wonderland! I get it!
Cameron had to gently walk me through this. Since I'm bloggin again, I was trying to find all of the blogs I liked back in the day, and I found most of them. I found Every Day I Write the Book. I found KP's blog that seemed preoccupied with someone named "Megabeast." (Then I read a little and suddenly I became preoccupied with the megabeast. JP, I can't believe you just looked out the window--a display of superhuman patience. I probably would have looked out the window too . . . through broken shards of glass at the megabeast's crumpled form laying on the front lawn.) I saw that kaycee and Sarah were still around. But I couldn't find Becca. I remembered her blog having something to do with a Looking Glass, so I punched it in, and up came Through the Looking Glass. But the blogger's name was Alice. That couldn't be it. But I liked the Looking Glass blog. Now I know why.
So I'm kind of running my own business and stuff. It's called Chronicle. We help people with their personal and family histories. I have a partner. His name is Cord. It is a weird name; but he's a good guy. We're trying to build a business by helping people research, write, edit, design, print and bind their family histories. We can help anyone at any stage of the process. If they just need design help, we can do that. If they want to design it and print it, we can do that. If they need help writing it, we can do that.
We decided to do this because personal histories and family histories are the best kinds of books in the world. At some point, you realized that knowing where you come from is worth more than almost anything. My inspiration for this kind of work came when I read my uncle's personal history. He spent hundreds of hours writing his story, and thousands of dollars printing it. In it I found information about my mom and sister, who were taken by a drunk driver in 1985. There were things I never knew about and even more precious things I had forgotten. I love doing this. It's the best work in the world . . . for a book guy like me.
