In an effort to connect with his family at large, Christopher Pratt, in the year of our lord 2011, began the first web log he was able to keep up with. A compilation of pictures, stories, music, links, existential smatterings, thoughts, ideas, videos, and tales from, for, & of beyond, Pratt(as he is known by many and few) began to detail his daily life, to dictate unto.... certainly not paper... unto 1's and 0's the flesh, bone, and otherwise parts that made up his life.
The web log was a way for him not only to share his life with his family so spread across the highways, freeways, tollways, trainways, airways, and anyways of America, but unlike email the web log was a way for him to share conversations with the whole family, thus connecting them to them to him to them in turn.
The digital age speaks wonders to the fable of distance; the information age is profoundly smaller than the world of yester..... something, and to Him, to Christopher Pratt, it was time to span the rank and file of mile after mile and bring himself closer to those doors he could not rap upon.
This is his him, this is his tale. Epic? No. Perfect? Yes. One foot beyond the other taken by one of the anonymous many who have snatched a spark of life no more or less than could or couldn't be.
