the beginning

so here i am, reporting for the first time from the altman ranch. it's the change of seasons so it feels like the perfect time to start something new. i've been thinking about this journal for a long time - a little intimidated by the technology, i guess. my last journal was old-school. a leather-wrapped blank book that only required a pen and my thoughts. but i don't know where i've placed it and you know what? i never lose my computer - or cyberspace for that matter. as has recently been demonstrated by our stupid politicians (re: foley) what you write on the internet stays there for a very, very long time (if not forever?)
i hope alex and stella will enjoy reading this journal someday. i know i will. it seems the best way to try to preserve my memories of my children's childhood and my beautiful life.
