Occasional Publications really started back in 1986 when my dad wrote and printed vignettes about my brothers and me, and then developed the practice from 1989 to 1998 in a serial Christmas Card featuring us four boys. That was before blogging, but it's one of the better examples of self-publishing I know.

Late in high school I republished The Card online (my first web site). I still have those files. If time permits I may represent those stories with what must suffice for now: photos of the brothers over the years.
