I do want this blog to be interactive...so as you have comments to share, please click on "comments" or on "permanent link" at the bottom of any blog entry and then post your comments.   You are also welcome to send them to me and I will post them via the blog manager.  We can certainly use our yahoo group for interactive conversation, but I also like the idea of a blog being more than a one way street.  The more participation, the better!  If at any time you'd like to post through me, please send your comments (and photos) to: [email protected], and I will post them asap.  Thanks!  Mark
