Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.
Reminds me of a Star Trek Enterprise episode where they encounter a lost colony from Earth. There was an event on the planet that killed off all the adults and the children went underground. By the time the Enterprise found them, the children were old. One woman named Nadet was found to be actually be Bernadette - a sweet little girl in an old photo. Over the years they had forgotten some words and made up others. Maybe it was Townsend's less sophisticated neighbors who just misunderstood his name?
Anaïs Nin was such a ninny
She talked a Rolls but drove a Mini.
Notes: This actually came to me many moons ago but it amuses me so much that I felt it bore repeating. And, if you're interested, Anaïs Nin was a writer of the mid-20th Century. I may have exaggerated her ninniness but my poet's licence is paid up to date.
