Welcome

A few notes about this blog.

First, welcome and thank you for taking the time to visit this site, which is rudimentary and inelegant because design and pizazz are not my strong suits. At some point it all may look nicer with more pictures and fancy graphics and cool links, but don’t get your hopes up.

Second, this blog, as the name implies, is about fun. F and I have been together a long time and we’ve always made it a point to try and have some fun along the way, even when lots of people were seemingly conspiring to ensure we wouldn’t.

One of them most important things we’ve learned about fun, however, is that you can’t take it for granted; it rarely just happens without making some effort. Like happiness, you have to choose to actively seek it out and embrace it; hence, the title of this blog. Because we’re still trying to find as much fun as we can.

I don’t intend this blog to be an actual guidebook for fun; you have to find yours if you can. But I do hope it will provide some fun, some amusement, some insight, some entertainment, and some income (just kidding).

The idea for this blog arose from dispatches to friends and family I wrote while traveling, so there may be some travel notes to go along with some social commentary, contemplations and random observations about the state of the human condition. I thought it unfair to subject those family and friends to continued assaults of unsolicited emails, so am now opting to let them voluntarily subject themselves to my musings.

Finally, since most of the writing I’ve done in my life was on a deadline, I can’t promise to adhere to any sort of a regular schedule of posting. I plan to be irregular if not capricious in my blogging, which means I’ll write something when I have something to say.

Thanks for listening so far.
