Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.

The card photos have a texture and depth that I imagine is a goal for good photography. I know little of such artistic evaluation but they are meant to be enticing and so they must be since we seem unable to resist them.
For a moment I thought "pictures of credit cards" meant selling the info on the black market
I've noticed the commercialization issue as I've traced the career of Ryan Tedder and OneRepublic... Their songs have gone from quaint and mysterious to rather sleek and well packaged over the years.
Personally, those pics look rather boring... But that's just me
I wonder if any of us actually lives in the present. We speak of it as though it were a comfortable place with extensive grounds, a place that has more to do with today than anything else. But the present is really an infinitesimally small slice of time sandwiched uncomfortably between the rolling and receding hills of the past and the dark mystery of the future. It’s hard to see how any creature made with memory and dreams could exist only in the present.
