Welcome

Welcome to the new blog.  I hope this one will be more visually interesting and user-friendly in terms of leaving comments.  I'll be talking about the things that interest me:  India, French and Vincent, as well as writing, reading, history, shooting, working out, vintage mysteries, music, things that make me laugh, and assorted other topics.  I promise that I will not pontificate about a certain election that's looming on the horizon, despite the temptation to do so.
