My Electronic Diary Begins

A friend, Stacy in Beijing, and I were discussing all of the little things that happen in our lives each day we are overseas. They are things we would love to share, but not important enough to sit down and write as an e-mail to our e-mail lists. They are also the kinds of things that don't occur to us to write about when we sit down to send out "official" keep in touch kinds of notes. We determined that a diary would be a great way to catalog our thoughts, but neither of us had ever had the discipline to be consistent journal writers. Besides, a journal keeps all of those thoughts to ourselves and ends the conversation.

Thus, we decided a blog was the best way to proceed. Stacy, I am beating you to the setup (I think), but look forward to reading your thoughts. Natasha, thanks for finding this blog site so that I can get started.
