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. |
| Three Score and Now Eleven + Day 197 Hello, Neglected Readers, It has been better than a week. I am getting ready for the fishing trip today. I leave tomorrow for two or three nights. It is supposed to rain on Saturday so I may leave early. I am no longer enthusiastic enough to fish in the rain. It will be nice fishing with my brother and nephews. I do need to catch a few meals of fish. On the to do maintenance list, Our basement smoke detector now needs new batteries which is not a problem. What is the problem is I need to move a filled shelving unit to be able to get to the detector? I will move the detector at that time. The detectors are connected with our security system which complicates things. I will tackle then when I return from fishing. Then also when I was in the basement a few days ago I heard guggling as the washing machine was draining. It was the drain from the washing machine and kitchen sink leaking. A large cast iron elbow looks to be the problem. The real problem is that it is in a crawl space. I called a plumber, and he is not available at this time. I will look into it farther as it warms outside, and I can remove the insulation and heat tape. So, it is close to the top of the list. Then there is the yearly income tax filing. I normally to it in March. So that is up coming after St Pat's Day, my days are filling up. The good news is Spring getting close. The flowering bulbs are going to be flowering soon. We will spring ahead time wise soon. As it stays light longer, and I get more excited and ambitious as the days get longer. It is amazing how my biological clock is seasonal. As I spend more time out of doors I will read and watch less news. Which I think is a good thing. The news at this time is depressing on many fronts and has been for a long. Prayers are always needed for our world. Have a Blessed Weekend and keep your family close |
