Beginnings

I spent a semester teaching journalism in Moscow in 1995. Each week that I was there, I posted a selection of my musings and experiences, including my personal activities and reactions to life in a quite different society, comments on politics and culture, my travels all around Russia, and media commentary. It was, I now realize, a blog before there were blogs, and I was a pioneer on-line journalist.
Now I am embarking on one of many million active blogs; I don't yet know what will be found here or where it will take me. Perhaps I will publish some writing that no one else wished to publish. Perhaps I will comment on the events around me and in the wider world. Or I may post some photos we took on our travels.
Like all blogs, this is a work in progress. We shall see.
