Welcome, friends, and anyone else who happens to visit this page.
My intent is to share any thoughts that come to mind, and I welcome any responses.
Please post freely.
I  gradually hope to share just about anything a pen would allow (a keyboard in this case), from opinions on current events, to thoughts of the past, to some interesting musings of just about any nature.
Feel free to visit my site for interesting links, and the main viewoftheblue.com site for our businesses.
I've been in Asheville since '96, but originally came from the Northeast. I've spent a good deal  of time on the west coast as well. If you visit my site, you will see I'm open-minded about a lot of things, and like to share the things I learn, and often some great resources on the web.
Spiritually, I'm a Zen person, not into any fixed belief, but appreciate nature and care about the environment. Politically I tend to be a bit liberal, but have an appreciation of many old-fashioned ways as well as an eclectic-progressive mix of views on things. With computers, i do consulting work and am a strong Linux proponent, call me if you want to know how to get free operating systems which will allow you to put Microsoft behind you. In business, my wife and I do convenience store inventories, which is primarily an independent business, but we have other irons in the fire as well, she also makes great natural toiletry products and gift baskets, and besides computer work (consulting, programming, web design), I'm good at electrical work, roofing and other things, and photography has always been a strong hobby as well.
But personal stuff aside, I think there is a lot to say about what's going on in the world today,
as well as so many vignettes from the past, both in my own experience, those of my family and friends, and others. All of this from the nostalgic to the tragic (present-day) things happening, and in the arenas of music, art, culture, and spirituality as well...
So, as I said, let's get started here, one thing at a time... and see how this develops. 
Welcome !
