Let us begin...

Hello fellow Drifters. Thought I'd surprise you all with yet another thing to keep track of as our adventure continues. No pressure though, I'm happy to maintain this site and keep it flourishing for as long as I have the energy and inclination. You should however feel free to comment at your leisure and as any blog follower knows, the comment section is where the real action is and where all the fun can be found. As for anyone else out there who might stumble upon this site or choose to visit from time to time to see how we're all getting (or not getting) along, I'll only add that I hope you find some enjoyment here and perhaps even learn something. I also hope it will serve as a useful reference for anyone attempting to do what we're doing and find in the course of following the accumulated posts something of value in what may come to be either an inspirational saga or a cautionary tale.
