Welcome!

I needed a new doormat. My old one was literally in shreds.

I was pleased as punch, then, to find this lovely doormat made of 85% post-consumer recycled tires. Instead of being one of the millions of discarded tires to grace American landfills, these tires will have the happy job of welcoming folks to my home.

Which is the perfect segue to saying Welcome! to those of you who've recently started following this blog.

Occasionally, I like to see who's out there in internet land, so if you so desire, leave a comment telling who you are (I know some of you long-time readers have done this before, but the new folks would probably love to hear from you) and any crazy factoids about you.

I'm happy you're here.
