Letting the hands go

If ever something was easy to say and hard to do...For now, the title of this inaugural post will have to serve as a good faith gesture if not the thing itself. Getting this blog up and running is the main thing. To family and friends (and onlookers): Beth and I hope this will allow us to stay in better touch with you. We're feeling our way around this blogosphere. It's one thing to read them, quite another to take ownership of one. More to come in time. In the meantime, I'll post pictures in lieu of something to say.
