Up and running

After years of sporadic updates to a mediocre website, I've decided to get a new host and get serious about being online. I hope to share somewhat regular posts on things that inspire and intrigue me, but I may be absent for days at a time as I spend most of my waking hours as a senior editor at msnbc.com and as a Rosalynn Carter Mental Health Fellow. (Please note: Anything I post here does not reflect the opinions of my employer or any other organization with which I am affiliated.)

I'm most interested in posting reported observations about everyday life and the human experience. That may be too ambitious, but I hope it's the best of what I can offer you.
