Oh, vanity

I just spent longer on setting up the layout of this blog than I'll probably, in total, spend writing entries for it. One cool thing, though, is that the header image will change automatically with the seasons. I'm proud of that one.

Images for the header were borrowed/taken from MotherEarthNews.com and FreeFoto.com.

I do have some topics to talk about here, I promise. For now, though, off to Green Depot to pick up the paint for our downstairs. Happy Valentine's Day if you're into that kind of thing.

Welcome to me. And perhaps to you?

I haven't even set up this blog's "about" or anything like that, yet, but will soon. This is the first entry of what I hope to be a chronicle of growing up, owning a home, getting married, living in suburbia, and at some point becoming a parent. I'm a 31-year-old guy, living a pretty good life, married to a great gal, living in Andover MA with a couple of cats and a good amount of humility.

What I hope to do here is not so much share what I'm listening to or the latest meme—that's what LiveJournal and Facebook are for—as what I'm discovering as I get older, settle in, and learn how things work, sometimes the hard way. Should be fun. It sure has been so far.
