"Sign, sign, everywhere a sign"

I would just like to acquaint potential readers with what they can expect from my blogs. I have a background in history and anthropology with a focus on archaeology. Some of my blogs will be postings on my travels and about the project I am currently working on. Sadly, often some of the details will have to remain cloudy depending on who the project is being done for.

A large part of my blog will be discussing some of the books that I have recently read. I am almost obsessed with reading and tend to keep notes on what I read. A common theme that will become evident in my blogs is the idea of "connections." I see connections or "signs" everywhere. Connections between what I read, where I travel, and what direction my life seems to take. I am not a firm believer in "signs" and am unsure about the difference between connections and coincidences. Maybe I will figure it out as I post.
