We’re just getting started, so be patient.  In the days and months and — dare we say, years ahead, this space will slowly fill up with news, ideas, projects, and thoughts from a family of creative consumers.  We try to live creatively and thoughtfully, and sometimes we succeed.  We try to conserve, but not hoard.  We try to live reasonably and practically, but not overly frugally.  We believe that you have to consume and produce to be fully alive.  One without the other is only half-way there.  And beside, both consuming and producing are a lot more fun than just existing.
