Welcome!

... to the blog of Derek Birnie. This may turn out to be somewhat utilitarian. You may find references to movement politics, conservation, music, outdoor pursuits, literature, parenting (twins in particular), home improvement and a variety of other topics - not to mention insider messages to friends and family.

If you're here, it means I sent you here for something in particular. I hope you find it and don't find the rest of the stuff too arcane.
