Thanks to Louis and Skye

Thanks to a Seattle ex-pat Trini and my daughter, Skye, a blog is born!

When my column in the Trinidad Express ended in May, Louis Sellier, a fan of the column, suggested another outlet: a blog. This advice coincided with a similar notion from my daughter in Trinidad, herself in the writing business, and a blogger.

I hesitated, imagining the set-up and maintenance beyond my computer skills. But in a recent trip back to Trinidad, Skye showed me how easy it was to get a blog going, even initiating me into the mysteries of photo uploads with Flickr.

The rest is up to my ingenuity — and WordPress for Dummies. So here goes!
