Last March I spent a week in Doha, Qatar. One of the highlights of the trip was a visit to the Islamic Museum of Art.

What to do?

Postcards to Perrin

img_6265 This is my oldest boy, Perrin. I can’t imagine the World Wide Web world he will experience in his lifetime. Creating this blog/web site using free software online has opened up a new world for me. Very exciting. Very intimidating. While I have embraced this form of commnication, I still find it hard to “trust the cloud.” Are my daily diary entries really safe up there at Go Daddy? Who cares what I think anyway? Is online storage of pictures and videos really the way to go? If I commit to blogging, will I still write postcards? If I don’t, will I send emails directing family, friends and colleagues to a URL? How will my nieces and nephews ever develop a healthy wanderlust if they don’t collect foreign stamps steamed off the back of well-traveled hand-written cards?

Time to go write a postcard…
