In the mood

I'm not sure what's behind my motivation to come back to blogging.  But I'm going to run with it.  I suspect the motivation is somewhat selfish.  At least, writing for myself over writing for an audience.  

My new title is a nod to three things I intend to focus on as I go along:  travel, books, and birds.  I hope it will also turn into something more than that.  A diary of sorts, a record of observations.  

So, a picture to begin with.  Hmmm.  I guess I should start in the vein I intend to go on in.

So here's what a bag of chow mein noodles looks like when you buy them at about 2,000 ft in elevation and take them up to 10,000+ feet.  An unexpected way to show that the air really is thinner.  Simple things like this are the spice of travel.

That's a start, now we see where the wind takes us!
