I've always enjoyed writing, but never been good at keeping a diary or journal, despite my best efforts. Perhaps I'll get really into this blogger thing and become technologically sophisticated. Fat chance, but we can dream.
The origin of the blog title? A wonderful visit to a wonderful city with a wonderful friend. Our friendship will always bear the mark of that trip, and on particularly dreary days (in weather or spirits), it is a beacon of light and a beacon of hope- that one day, I/we will return to the city, relive the glory days, and remember what life is really about.
