To Santiago de Compostella and Beyond
I get caught up in the idea of various events for charity. I somehow have ended up on all their mailing lists, don’t know how that happened.

That is something I have been asking myself over the last few months. I used to write a lot, I started this website simply because I wanted to write on the Internet, and I loved the experience of publishing my ideas, opinions, and thoughts – and getting others thoughts on what I had written.
