The San Juan Update enters its thirteenth year today...

Well, it’s been twelve years ago today that the San Juan Update got underway in 1997, and as with most pre-teens, it’s kinda fun to look back on when things were young & innocent & cute. As my little birthday present to you, I thought I’d offer you a look at the whole thing since I began it.

Here’s the whole enchilada…from 1997 till this past March, the site was a hand-coded, homespun entity; then I decided to go a little higher tech, mostly so I could write more & code less, along with the design you now see.

So, if you’d like to see what I’ve posted in the past seven months, just find the “Archives” button above & search away, or go to the buttons above to start with the latest news & go backwards. The rest of the Update – 11 and a 1/2 years of it – is below.

The most fun job on the island...wahoo!

The most fun job on the island...wahoo!

I’d like to take just a moment to thank you for reading & commenting & sending me ideas, and I’d have to say thank you for sending me your love & support. I love this story we live in, and I’m glad for the chance to share it.

Hope you enjoy the blast through the past…and are ready for the next round. Here we go.

Love ya,
Ian

Our island home looks beautiful from the sky, too. Although, that's Lopez with Mount Baker in the background. You can tell it's Lopez Island - not as many tourists....
