Raconteuring

Well before I learned what the word meant, I always wanted to be a better raconteur. I love history, and a big part of history is the oral tradition that comes from good stories. I have often wondered in some of the old stories and legends - Beowulf, King Arthur, Gilgamesh - how much truth remains.

Anyway, I'm not much of a raconteur, but I enjoy it - and I hope to become a better one. This blog is the story of my life - past, present, whatever - and other stories I find interesting. They may not come across as that exciting, but sometimes that the fun in it. There is joy orexcitement in every moment, if you know where to look.
