Purpose of this Web Site 

During my life, I've had a number of avocations, or passions if you will, that included personal writings and journals, books and short stories, collections, musical compositions, poetry and paintings. These works represent my little marks in life and the things I would like to leave for, and be appreciated by, my family.

Originally, I intended on leaving these works in only their physical form (e.g. hard cover books, CDs, etc.) but later decided to establish an electronic repository for some of them so that they would be centralized and in a form that could be accessed by anyone who might be interested in them. This was the purpose for establishing this website. Not everything however, is on the site as some things are very personal and private in nature and remain in physical form only.

I had some reservations about establishing this site as I'm generally a very private person by nature and because of my feeling that my works might fail to meet some objective or artistic “standard.”

While my works might not measure up to any professional, artistic or academic standard, I hope that they will be viewed for what they are, namely, amateur attempts in various literary and art forms originating from my personal experiences, feelings, observations and opinions.

While most think of an inheritance as a financial inheritance, I believe that a true and full inheritance should also include a personal inheritance. It is therefore my hope that the personal things I leave, i.e. my works, will have personal value to my loved ones and represent my personal inheritance to them.

And finally, there is the remote hope that through luck or happenstance, they may find their way to an appreciating audience outside of my family. Stranger things have happened.  

In closing this Chapter, let me apologize for any possible and unintended offence or misunderstanding that may result from anything I've written. Further, I'd also like to apologize for any spelling, factual or grammatical errors as these works were not edited or reviewed by any professional.
