Not Done Living!

G'day Everybody,

My name is Ricky Buchanan. Here's my main theory on life: I may have disabilities and problems and troubles and stuff that holds me back, but dammit I'm Not Done Living! Not by a long chalk.

So hang onto your hats and come along for the ride ... if you're game ...

This web site has not been updated for a while. I don't like finding out of date sites with dead links any more than you do, and I am sorry. Part of the reason is that I now need an on-screen keyboard to type and vision aiding software now that my eyes are bad. The other part is that I have become sicker in general, so I have less time and less energy and less mental ability... Internetly, I am focussing on keeping Journeying/Journalling updated, so you can find out what I am up to. The journal turned 10 years old on the 28th of January, 2007, and I am proud to have kept it up so long.
