A CORDIAL WELCOME TO NEW VISITORS!

Come on in, and scroll on down...

HELLO!

Please feel free to poke around and explore.  But watch your step, for there are books, bicycle parts, railroad ties, and perhaps a gored ox or two scattered about.  Just remember, on the Internet good things come to those who scroll, point and click!

 
IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST VISIT...

Ordinarily my guests go straight from this WELCOME page to the MAIN page, the central area of this web site, from which there is easy access to everything else.  But if you haven't been here before, you might find it worth your while to take a brief detour to get some basic information ABOUT THIS SITE.

The first thing you will learn is what sort of site this is, and what kinds of offerings are available — very handy for deciding right away whether you want to devote any more time to exploring my pages.  If not, you can be on your way.  But if this sounds like the sort of place that would appeal to you, then a couple of minutes' further reading will acquaint you with the navigation menus, as well as with features enabling you to become an active participant!  This small expenditure of time will both make your visits here more enjoyable and save you time and effort in the long run.

Once you've scanned the introductory page, you'll be ready to head for the LOUNGE main page — where you can find all the good stuff!

 
WHO IS "THE GENT"?

If you browse this site for any length of time, you might find yourself becoming mildly curious about who writes the stuff for it.  To satisfy your curiosity, you can click ABOUT THE STAFF on the MAIN page, and then click the picture of the OWNER for a few useless tidbits of information..


COME ON IN!

Whenever you're ready, pop in and have a look around.  I hope you enjoy your stay!
