2004–2026
The family journal
Kept since 2004, by more than one of us. Twenty-two years of ordinary days, preserved as they were written — period spelling, period HTML, and the occasional picture that no longer loads because the website hosting it is long gone.
This journal is public to anyone with the link, but asks search engines not to index it.
