Setting Things Up

Just eight days and I am headed off-- not yet to Laos, mind you. That comes only after a weeklong orientation to all things SALT in Akron, Pennsylvania. But, headed off in the sense that my bags will be packed, everything not packed in such a way will be stored somewhere or another, and I'll be finished saying good-byes (certainly the worst part of going somewhere new is the leaving of people who can't go with you).
All that is to say, it is about time I set up a way to stay in touch with folks in Seattle or not in Seattle and the plan is to do it with this blog.
