Rope Drop

I was thinking about what I want to see this blog evolve into, and I decided to open authoring to some friends. Ultimately, I'd like to see this become a site where we can all (readers and authors alike) examine ourselves and our reality, and hopefully grow closer to realizing our own 'Paradise'. Along the way I expect we'll see song lyrics, quotes, poetry, tips and tricks, 'life hacks,' recipes, giddy rambling about the latest gadget, and pointless pontification. Basically, we'll see all kinds of seemingly random stuff with one common 'thread': it makes us happy to write about it, and hopefully it makes you happy to read about it.

That said, I'd like to welcome two new authors, Lindsay and Michael. Lindsay is my fiancee', and Michael is a friend of mine from college. We look forward to their first posts!

One thing I would like to try to do is maintain some sanity as far as the labels are concerned. To that end, I think any new label should be explained in the first post that uses it. I'm introducing the "our philosophy" label, to be used for any posts which define our philosophy or rules for this blog.

With that, consider the park open! I'll leave it to Lindsay to explain the reference...
