I was googled. My friends and bloggish mentors have pointed out that I did not allow anonymous comments. This appears to have been a "default" setting. I have corrected this but would like to point out that this is not "default" of the blogger, in this case.
I rode around Thursday night with my daughter and her friend, who both had digital cameras in the back seat. They happily spend their time taking photos of themselves at arms length. This, apparently is what digital cameras are for. They have millions of head shots from arms length. Adolescence is the process of desperate self-definition. We probably shouldn't tell them that the rest of life is ALSO the process of self-definition, although unless I'm confronted with a pre-formatted site, aimed at arms length photo-takers, the search is less desperate.
My intent would be to let the spot speak for itself, much as sCenario does. It's good to have a place to write.
Caitlin took this photo, underwater at a motel pool, of Walker and his friend Andy. At arm's length.

As long as you only want to share the site with friends, I strongly recommend keeping the blog setting to private. Under Settings, where it says 'Add your blog to our listings?', keep it set to 'No.' The address still works just fine, but you won't show up on the Blogger list of blogs.
The main benefit is to avoid 'comment spammers' -- those who seek to increase their Google page rank by creating as many links to their pages (generally devoted to porn, viagra and oxycodone) as they can.
If you get into a comment spammer's database, they'll make your life miserable.

That's a good point, Kevin. But you'll also need to send the web address to those you want to view your blog. (Or post it in your friends" private blogs). As a public blog, it appears in your profile. when you make it private it does not..
I'm thinking less publicity, rather than more, is desirable.
You might want to look again at your new title...
"Do not try this at home -- I'm a professional!"
...ummm...I think there should be three "d's" in laundromat...four, even.

Don't mess with me. I have an English Degree.
...with regard to that last remark:
...contraction -- comprised of verb and adverb, verb, preposition, indirect object. Subject, verb, article, adjective, noun.
My degree obviously wants to mess with your degree *hehe*
*remains at two degrees*
*hugs*
