Something mighty and sublime, leave behind to conquer time."

Avatar12.com merges with TownsandTrails.com

I decided to roll avatar12.com up into the recently created townsandtrails.com. I'm doing this to consolidate the amount of websites I look after (not to mention to save a few bucks). Over the years I have been slowly moving Avatar12 out of the role of being the gateway to my Northville Placid Trail site, and into more of a personal website for keeping friends and family up to date with my happenings. So this was the natural next step.

Along with this I have moved the Northville Placid site files to their own space within TownsandTrails and have registered the domain name northvilleplacid.com, which now points there as well.

I believe this arrangement helps to better organize this information and hope it serves those who look for it. My apologies in advance to any confusion or trouble this may cause in the meantime.

"I feel I ought to write a great novel, be friendly with more of the interesting people in my community, give more parties, dedicate more time to my intellectual pursuits, go hiking more often, travel to Africa, be a radical trying to revolutionize society, do more reading, sunning and swimming, become a teacher, be a faithful friend, be more generous with my money, be an athlete, live like Thoreau, learn another language and . . .
And do all of these things seriously, playfully, dramatically, stoically, joyfully, serenely, morally, indifferently"
