ODESSA

Dear Family,

Attached is a photo of my daughter Odessa.

When I received it, clearly it reminded me of something, but what?--the shades of mystery, the enigmatic expression, etc.. The question, what was she thinking? Finally, I realized it was another picture, a painting I haven´t contemplated (or thought about) for many years.

Life is indeed a mystery worthy of contemplation.

Warm regards to all,

Barry

Dear Family,

I´ve just been invited by Jed to join our new Dixon-Blog, and am posting this message as a first test so Jed can evaluate operations.

My Best Wishes to all, and I look for to using this as a means of communication between us in the meantime to having a general family website.

Mom and Dad's 60th Wedding Anniversary was a great time! It was great to see everyone and especially being able to witness our parents' celebration. We did something extraordinary too: meeting together for breakfast proved to be a momentous occasion in that it set in motion plans to establish both a family website AND start up our long-awaited family corporation.

Rita and I will be doing reseach over the next few weeks about corporation form and will report back as soon as possible to you all. I am beginning to design the webpage, which will take a while to realize. In the meanwhile, you can use this blog site to exchange pics and news.

Hello Dixons!
Welcome to the Dixon Clan "blog" site. Now that you are here you are probably wondering what this is all about and (more importantly) why should I care? A "blog" is short for Web Log, or a running log of notes, comments, activities and just about anything else worth mentioning to the tribe in general. I liken it to a ship's log, where the significant events of the watch are posted for the other watchkeepers to read.

You can also post other items of interest such as weblinks to pages you want each other to explore. Though there are many things it cannot do, it still does the basics well.

Enjoy! Jed
