Strange Beginnings

Hello, and welcome to what I hope will soon become a richly furnished addition to the all-too-sparse blog communitz.

I’m typing this from a computer in Munich, Germanz, (a land in which the keyboards are strange indeed), so please forgive any transpositions of the letters z and y.

That little addendum aside, I hope you follow and enjoy my ramblings and rantings as I attempt to document my travels for the summer. I can say with relative confidence that my musings will not be profound, but I hold a flicker of hope that thez will at least be interesting.  This promises to be the most strange and exciting journey of my young life, and this is an attempt to capture and remember the most striking aspects of it.

I also apologize in advance for the relatively (and by relatively I mean completely) unfurnished aspect of the blog.  I could pretend Iäm (damn German keyboards) taking cues from Willa Cather’s essay “The Novel Demeuble,” but I am in truth a little lazy and a little too poor to pay the premium for the extended web access needed for decoration.

So, I hope this blog will do better than myself at keeping my friends and lovers informed of my whereabouts and goings-on, and I hope you will enjoy the ride anywhere near as much as I do.

Cheers and love,

Loren

P.s.  I will furnish this blog with appropriate pictures and diagrams upon my return to Lawrence, so if you find yourself for some reason still interested come Mid-August, there will be diagrams and pictures (and perhaps even a video or two) to illustrate what I am sure my words will be too inadequate to convey in a way that does justice.
