Why yet another blog is born

A look at blogs by various friends has suggested to me that maybe... MAYBE... this might not be such a bad way of keeping friends and family informed about my adventures in the Czech Republic. Granted, I do send out emails from time to time, and obviously they can be tailored more specifically to the recipients' interests and personalities, but this way I can post photos without choking anyone's mailbox. I suppose I will say something more intelligent about the whole thing (and my life in Prague) subsequent to getting the blog properly launched.
