So, I want to explain for a moment the title of my blogspot.
Jeff and I are currently and jointly reading Sigurd Olsen's "Runes Of The North", and are in love with the writing. In thinking of a name for my blog, I glanced down at the floor and the book and its title caught my eye. I was curious about the word "rune". My concept of its meaning was rather vague, reflecting on an old Indiana Jones movie, thinking that it was rune stones, magical rune stones that Indie was after. Anyway, I liked the word and looked it up. In the Norse tradition it may refer to a song or poem, a symbol or character in an ancient alphabet - its contemporary meaning being magical or mythical. Sure makes sense in the context of Sigurd's book tracing his canoe trips through the great north west.
Anyway, I said to Jeff, "it should be something easy to remember, and I like that word".
Jeff said, "how 'bout tunes and runes?".
And there ya have it!
