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?
The thing about hospitals is that those who use them spend most of their time horizontal on a bed or gurney. The scenery experienced from such a position, though not exactly inspirational, allows us to become connoiseurs of ceilings.
