An Open Letter to Friends, Family, and Mentors

About the Blog...

Dear All:

A blog (or weblog) can be put to many uses, but all taking advantage from the chronological accumulation of writing. While some blogs are narcissistically dedicated to navel-gazing or some other precise art, and others are closer to online columns for commentary, I have started this blog specifically as a means for those about whom I care and who care about me to know what's going on in my life.

The blog allows me to avoid cramming your email inboxes with every new announcement, and gives you the chance to follow as closely or distantly as you like. I will perhaps once a month send an email with recent "headlines" and links to the blog, so that you can either take the headlines on their own or follow-up with the blog pieces.

Adjunct to my hopes of keeping you all updated, I intend for the blog to give me an excuse to publish more of my internal ruminations in a decently coherent, aspiringly articulate way. Again, you'll be free to read what interests you.

Finally, to the degree that those who come upon this blog and find it edifying or interesting; and to the degree that by maintaining a blog I participate in the massive economy of ordinary human strivings and ideas that is the Internet, I am glad to contribute.

Should you ever wish to respond, you may of course do so by my email address. It is my policy never to real names except when the name is publicly known and available in the given posting's context. Moreover, I commit never to write anything concerning another that, so far as I am strenuously able to ascertain, she or he does or would not want shared. Such are my commitments to those with whom I've privileged to share this journey.

Come when you want, read when you like, take only what matters to you.

-Jeremy
