The First Twirl Of The Fork

And thus it begins.

Another blog I hear you sigh. I begin them and then I grow weary of what I write. I make the names of my blogs too personal and they belong to a time and place that I inevitably move on from.

A new chapter begins both in life and blogsville. I have named this one 'The Spaghetti Imperative' as it doesn't really mean anything and I like the sound of it. I updated my Facebook status one Sunday after a night on tiki cocktails that read; Spaghetti. Imperative.  One of my friends who lives in Hamburg commented that it sounded like a band name. I had been thinking of reviving my blog when it dawned on me; here's my new name. I just added 'the' and ta da- new blog name, new blog full stop.

Once I get my new camera and my Mac to talk to each other, I will be uploading photos and journalling  my life in words and pictures. Today officially marks five weeks until I embark on a five month travel extravaganza of North,Central and South America. My dream of having a birthday in Buenos Aires and spending Dia de los muertes (day of the dead) in Mezzeeko are coming true. I am indeed blessed and the universe does go out to bat for you. The term 'happy dance' doesn't even cut it.

So, the first blog. My introduction. Getting my feet wet again to plunge head long into writing. This time, I feel I have much to document and must pledge to spend time everyday or at least most days to keep this one current and relevant.

To those who have stumbled across this page, welcome. Jump on board and take this trip with me.
