Welcome!

I hope that you enjoy yourself.

It is my sincere hope that you enjoy yourself while you're here. I know that it's not terribly flashy or clever. I've looked over my old pages and far too often I've gone out of my way to be clever about not being flashy and far too often I've come up short. Instead I will be honest in my expression that you enjoy these pages and hope that if, by chance, you should find something that needs fixed or improvement, or if you just have a kind word to say that you'll drop me a line.

Keeping in mind that this site is largely narcissistic in nature, if you wish to know about me or anything that I've actually gotten around to finishing, then this is the place to be. Here you'll find a number of poems, some old, some less old. You'll find a couple of short stories, again, mostly old. You'll find remnants of my previous websites (and possibly someday the remains of those original websites themselves if I ever get into the mood to really embarrass myself. At the moment I have a small selection of pictures I've made on the computer for your perusal. That may grow.

I'll be honest, I'm not sure what all I'll have up here. At the moment it's mostly my writings with a few glimpses into my life. I hope to have a great deal more. I'm just not sure what it'll be. Truth be known, this isn't the first time that I've tried to set up a web site. It will be, I hope, the first time that I'm setting up a web site of value. In the kingdom of the WWWeb, you see, Content is king. All of my earlier endeavors, for the most part, have had either no content and focused on design, or had some content and a lousy design. It is my goal to provide content and an elegant design. It may not be a lot of content, and the design may not be that elegant, but it's a step in the right direction.

As I've written before, the very nature of this site is narcissistic as it relates to my life and my creations. So I suppose that if you're reading these words, that in some way, you're interested in me. So I thank you for that. I've tried to provide a design that will work for everyone, or at the very least, provide options that will cater to as many people as possible.

The bare bones version may or may not appear to have a light graphical design--the layout of all of the styles should be maintained by style sheets. The graphic light version should appear much the same as the text only, but with buttons instead of links. The graphic version is the same as the heavy version, but for the rollover effect. And finally, if you've got a good connection and you wish to see the more graphic intensive design, choose the graphic enhanced version.
