And now down to business

So what's the real reason I'm doing this? What is the Siren singing about?

The real point is that I've been reading and once in a while posting to a particular blog:

http://memoriesofjoshuawesthaver.blogspot.com/

This is a fantastic blog, created by a great man who loved a great man as his best friend for 20 years. Josh Westhaver - Joshua - was a wonderful man. Not just a great man, but a great human. He passed away on December 11, 2008. The blog is a wonderful way to honor Josh (I guess he's always going to be Josh to me), and I read it regularly. There are many contributors - friends from the distant past and friends from the immediate past.

And me. The ex-wife.

My stories are all weird. My photos are of Josh and I together. Wedding photos. Just generally having fun and holding on to each other. Life as a married couple. So while I try to dig up stories appropriate for a blog that friends near and far would want to read, I have this little side project where I can submit my thoughts to the great Ethosphere Gods.

That and the fact that I need a place for randomness. For whatever the Siren's song is today. Less formal than my other blog: http://allisonanderson.wordpress.com/. That one has been idle for a long time, waiting for me to come up with something intelligent to discuss. I have a plan to get that back on track. I have a lot of plans.

Plans are a way to cope with grief.

And now my break is over and I'm back to work.
