Why me

or rather: why of all people should I write a blog too? Do I have anything pertinent to say?

Not really. But it might be a great way to let friends and family share in my life instead of trying to bring everyone up-to-date via phone calls or emails. Something I never manage anyway, at least not on a regular basis.

Anyway, once again, it is really Kees' fault. He got me onto the internet when only geeks knew about its existence, he talked me into going a-Vikinging over a decade ago, and now his own blog gave me the idea to try my hand at this, too.

Right now, I am still trying to work out all the neat layout stuff.
