About this blog:
ru.mi.nate, v., to turn a matter over and over in the mind; to meditate or ponder; to reflect deeply on a subject
The ruminations of this blog are just that, pondering, meditations, and meandering thoughts of an introspective, rather curious mind.  Subjects will be examined, mulled over, contemplated and thought about.  It is the perfect word to describe what happens mostly on this blog.  However, in the interest of maintaining sanity, there will be room for photographs, lighthearted musings, travel logs...and of course, Star Wars.
