Hi, my name is Dan and I live in Long Island, New York.

My life nowadays is about writing, painting, finding out what makes people tick, and about training for my first triathlon.

The paragraph above pretty much sums up what this website is about.  It's a tool for me to be able to do all these and then some.  I don't claim to be an expert in any of these.  In fact, one of the reasons I made this website into a blog is to quickly get feedback, which in turn helps me learn and improve.

Though a bit of narcissism is probably a pre-requisite in running a personal blog, I will try not to bore you with my daily drudgeries.  (No one needs to know what I had for breakfast this morning.)  I would rather you find something useful or practical from this site even if it be just a link to another website.  Check out a picture I took of the Statue of Liberty or some links to some inspirational beginner triathlon articles or even build your vocabulary with Lexis Flexis.  I plan to have this site packing a lot more interesting, if not, informative stuff.

Do let me know what you think about this and that.  If my grammar sucks then let me know.  If you have a tip for a wannabe triathlete, let me know.  I'll post it all here for others to benefit as well.  Don't mind if a blog entry is old, if you would like to post a comment for one, go ahead.  I read them all.
