Vol 1 No. 1




Vol.1 No. 1

   I suppose I was guilty of it too, but I remember as my kids were just beginning to get curious, it seemed the first word they learned after “no” was “why.”  So …. apparently I’m reaching that state of euphoria known as a “second childhood” or, “duck for cover, Grandpa’s about to start in on “when I was a kid.”

    Inevitably some will agree with me, and some won’t.  I am past that stage of wanting to fall on my sword if someone doesn’t “like me.”  (Probably one of the reasons I don’t Facebook, the other being I really don’t care that, as you sit there ,you have found a  way to soak your tired feet, contemplate your navel, do your nails, suck in a divine broccoli-asparagus smoothie and text in your vote for “America’s Next Top Model.”    

   At this point, I have not, and probably will not, set any philosophical “off limits signs” for where this blog takes me.  I will say, if groups or individuals find a way to call attention to themselves and gain their fifteen minutes of fame in the print or electronic media, I’m sure I’ll have a comment.  Maybe “pro”, maybe “con” who knows?  I think I could comfortably “bet the farm” inevitably someone as opinionated as me will feel the need to take issue with something I write.  Reasonable responses will be considered; irrational rants will be round filed.  I’ll be the judge, and decision of the Judge will be final.  Sorry ‘bout that.

   Also, if I spot a thought, idea or bit of humor someone else has come up with, I’ll probably steal it (with attribution if possible).

   So there you have it. I would hope to be able to generate two or three entries a week, but we’ll see.
