Welcome!

Hi. I am so computer savvy that I couldn't find my account number, I couldn't preview a background set up for the blog, and then the first entry I made, a very friendly, rambling entry about how this idea came about have now disappeared through the cracks in the internet. Sort of how my life seems to disappear somewhere between commuting, sorting out things I could have/should have done better the first time, and just keeping track of what needs to be done.
I love my life. I'm grateful that I live with health, wealth, a satisfying job, a network of family and friends, and was born with a sunny disposition.
Most of you know that my birthday is Aug. 6, 1950, which was the fifth anniversary of the bombing of Hiroshima. Some of you also know that I ran 50 km on my 50th birthday, and raised over $3000 for the Burlington Association for Nuclear Disarmament (BAND). As wonderful as that was, it was also an individual accomplishment. People asked me if I was going to run 60 km on my 60th birthday, which was not anything I was interested in doing. I also visioned a more community oriented birthday for my 60th, because it will take lots of people standing up to end nuclear weapons as a reasonable reality. (Now there's an oxymoron for you.)
Anyway, I have to go to work, so here's my second attempt at a first posting. Let me know you found me!
Cheers!
