I had a blog here way, way back in 2014 that I kept going for a couple of years when a squirrel caught my attention and it was blog over.

I used the pandemic to reinvent myself: I’ve changed jobs, tried some new hats on, and started a YouTube channel (learning all I needed to know along the way). I’m restarting this blog to be a companion to my YouTube channel, a place where I can add details that don’t fit in the videos — but first I need to re-learn WordPress, the recipes will come later.

I’m going to use the month of the “Bloganuary” challenge to familiarize myself WordPress and in February my blog and channel.

The photos and animations here are all my own, unless I say otherwise, and you’re free to use them if you like. I will eventually have them categorized in a gallery.

Oh, and, fyi, I’m an American but live in Japan. Call me ct, everyone does. 🙂
