A world of Adventure awaits


The web can be a wonderful tool when used with discernment... This is a "clearing house" of websites related to my personal interests and hobbies. Although these are what I consider to be "safe" places, as with all things related to the web, you never know what that next click might lead you to! Please use caution when "surfing" the web.
