Three Score and Ten the Introduction, Well here we go, After 50 years I am going to take another attempt at writing. The first time was the Palmer writers correspondence school in 1969. The writing will be not a book that will be written with the idea of being published, But will be a writing of thoughts unencumbered by possible publishing and monetary gain. This writing will be a hybrid of Journal and Reminisce. It is important to me that the writings are my true thoughts at the time, not influenced by any factor. The writing will try to explain how a 70 year old white, male USA citizen now relates to today's world. Is every oldest generation lost in their own world, that they aged into? What do I see, and feel as I age farther. I know I am not normal as in what this world today would consider normal. But I hope I am in the ball park writing the thoughts of a 70 year old. I hope for you to learn to know who I am, As I search for Who I am at 70+ This work will carry on until I am no longer able to think or write. This will be done on a nearly daily writing interwoven with a life's reminiscing. This writing has been in the planning for 10 plus years. and I have now made it to this starting point. This writing is dedicated to My Wife The Kitten, My family, My grand children, Lukas, Levi, Luis, Lydia and Sonora Pearl. I thank you God that you have allowed me to have your Three Score and Ten Time. |
| It is starting too, and looking like winter. I just can not wait to go play in the snow, NOT. But as winter normally is for me I get depressed and the days run together. I am thinking that doing this writing and communicating with others will help. I think I know some what House arrest feels like. We do not go any where, Shopping a couple times a month, a walk to the post office, a visit to the drug store once a month. That is about it. We say Hello to the neighbors when it is snow shoveling time. Until things change, church is of the attendance list also, I can not wear a mask over my nose for two hours. And surely it is not healthy to do so. But we do have our Little Dog and Big Cat. The wife and I are company together, I can talk to the kids and grandkids on the phone. And I have your company as I write. And so I think we are still being blessed in this time of trouble. We are still doing better then many as I read. The wife is off now walking to the Post Office to mail Christmas Cards. We as others I am sure mail cards to people we should see and write to during the year, But do not. We have been sending Christmas Cards to Switzerland for some years now. It is one of my lives most important accomplishments, Find the family is Switzerland. We have been their a half dozen times in near the last twenty five years. The first visit was like a awakening, I was able to more understand who I am and why. I am the third generation born here in the USA, but remain very Swiss. But three generations, that is a blink in time. I still have a hope of returning one more time. This last time will not be easy. The familie is in far eastern central Switzerland, Canton Graubunden. I am very proud of my swiss heritage. I hope you are coping well with this winter reality. Have a Blessed Day. |
