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 Ten + Day 41 We have had our dinner this day, The library is empty, The begging dog has left. The Luna cat is some where in dream land. The wife is in the kitchen doing clean up. I have an auction going off in a few hours so I sit here thinking of what I should write. I will try to answer the question "Why do I Journal Blog". It is an important factor as a lot of precious time and effort is dedicated to the Journal Blog. I have always been a people watcher, People fascinate me. I wonder what makes them tick, How do they think, What is their day like, What is it like to walk in their shoes. What are they like when the personality mask comes off. They say no two people have ever been exactly the same and I believe it. The combinations are endless. Kudo's to the creator for making it so. What a boring world this would be if everyone thought and did the same. Now understand I am a very private person, A not a in your face, back slapping good Joe. I watch from a distance, analyzing what I see, trying to put together a story. In my auction dealings I have in the past purchased older family photo albums. [another story for another time] As I view them I try to put together the families story by viewing the photos. Most never have information written on them. But You can tell a lot by following the photo album. That is sort of what I do watching people at an airport or restaurant or grocery or any where. We are staying to home more now so there is less chance to people watch. Then there is the face coverings. If you are like me you need to see a face to read the total body language. It is very agitating for me not to see a face. It is like opening a book and finding no type only pages. In my dealing with people I am no social butterfly. I have never learned the art of small social talk. [another future discussion] I am polite but to the point. I would never be part of a water cooler or party crowd. In a crowd I get anxious and uncomfortable, and just want to leave. I love one on one intelligent conversation of concepts and the Big picture ideas. I want to learn from others. I will drive to and talk directly to a person I need to rather then use a telephone. I need that body language to speak to me. Which brings me to the idea of this journal entry. Why do I write this blog? Because if I write I have the opportunity to read YOUR blogs and have communication. I do have a interest in your daily routines. As I put more information together you become more interesting. I learn from your experiences. What makes the writer write? It is a type of therapy for me, as I think it for you. It looks to me like there is a lot of collective wisdom on this site. Some real thinkers and doers. I hope to gain from that wisdom. I do enjoy being here. The internet auction just closed for me, I won just two bids, A set of Platt and Munk publishing children's books, I sell children's books on the net. And a lot of Ice Fishing gear that I will sort through. Their sure does not seem to be a shortage of auction money out there. I hope you have a Blessed Evening |
