I started this blog at the end of 1999. So unpersuasive was I that it took until 2005 for my wife to take up the cudgels. One of my sisters took the plunge last month. And finally my other sister has leaped into the fray. Take note of her subtitle: “On the path to building an Indian hotel in the Mexican heartland.” I hope you can’t wait.

So every adult in my immediate family now has a blog. Whether or when the next generation will take up the cause, I have no idea.
