Facelift

What was once the Conti Contemplative (a name I still regret creating to this day) is now the Journatorium. Is it better? Maybe. As a title, to me it reflects a collection of random thoughts and obscure observations that I make on a daily basis, all gathered together under one roof. However, it's also about the journey one takes in the midst of that collection. The, "Where am I now," and "where will I be then?" So, I've basically come up with a more complicated way of saying 'blog.' ...yeah, that sounds about right.

Gone is the awful silhouetted image by the lake, replaced by a collage of meaningful aspects of my life...my house, my dog, my introspect, my vision, my love of the water and the impressions my travels have left upon me. Gone are the oppressive twilight blues and grays, exchanged with the light sandy off-whites and tans to present a more meditative atmosphere. It's easier to read and as I said before, that layout just never set well with me. Maybe that's why I abandoned the blog so quickly and started Jack Traveler...I just didn't know what to do with it.

I have however, kept the previous articles, solely for archival purposes, the last being my re-discovery of the Hidden Bridge in Mill Creek Park. I suppose that one event led me to re-purpose my life, as pointed out by a good friend when I first shared that story with her just after it happened. I feel it's appropriate to serve as both a transitional account and a memory of where things started...well, started over. From here forward, it's all about the journey to discover where things will lead.
