The Eclectisist Blog reflects the variety of things that affect my life and I believe affect the lives of others. That's a lot but we are complicated beings affected by a barrage of issues and events that come at us so many times a day. This is simply a place to express a bit of the serious and a lot of the lighter things in life that matter to us. In some cases I hope it offers a lighter moment in what, for many of us, are hectic days.
