why a new blog

I had to change my email address upon leaving residency, and blogger wasn't being very cooperative with letting me just transfer my gmail email address as the sign-in for my old blog. So, this is my new blog with a new name and everything. My goal is to be more diligent in writing as well now that I kind of have a fresh start.

The name is perhaps obvious, but here are my reasons for using this name: 1) my last name 2) liking wild roses, probably because the smell of them reminds me of Port Townsend - when I was in St Louis, they had wild roses that, at best, didn't smell, and, at worst, smelled bad, so I'm happy to be around wild roses again. The picture is from a plant I walk by on my way to work every morning and is the inspiration for the blog name.
