Welcome!

Welcome to my blog, “Post Haste”. This blog has been waiting for me to share it with the world since 2019. Thank you for coming here to help me launch it.

There are so many things that I find interesting, that I never have a shortage of ideas for content. What I have lacked was for a few things to come into alignment, such as a topic that would keep me focused, the time to write, and the mindset for commitment.

My travels in the Near East in November, 2022 provide me with a focus for creativity, and a strong need to capture and share my thoughts. I took the time to explore some of my favorite parts of the world, so I will make the time to tell you about it.

Getting my Dead Sea Mud on – completely unanticipated pleasure!

While planning my travels to Egypt and Jordan, I also became excited about using this trip as the springboard for Post Haste. When I got back to the U.S., I was a little surprised how many people really wanted to hear about my travels. I wanted to tell stories and share observations, but it became an impossible task to do that by ones and twos. So, in order to not be unfair, I had to just tell folks, “It is too much to tell, so I will blog about it.”

Not that I haven’t wanted to try to bend everyone’s ear whom I encounter. These travels were important and rich experiences for me. Maybe I would have been excused if I had cornered strangers on the street so I could share some important insight. Imagine me grabbing some guy by the lapels and being right in his face with, “You have got to go to Wadi Rum!” Luckily for those strangers, I knew this blog was waiting for me.

So, we will start Post Haste with “Travels in the Near East”.

This is going to take a while. Thank you for joining me on this virtual trip.
