About this site

I live in Chicago, but I still feel close ties to the Northern California coast where I grew up and first fell in love with the ocean and water in general. The cause of clean drinking water is especially meaningful to me, but I love the stuff in all its forms. This blog pays tribute to that spunky little molecule, water.
