Northerntrials

Squidoo let me showcase all my hobbies, I am hoping to continue the experience with HubPages. I have an ever expanding range of interests and hope to share them here. We'll see how far I can explore this place.

After taking a year off I have come back and will be expanding my pages again. Let's see where it takes me now.
