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 time I put some words to paper, or should I say to screen. We will be leaving for the north in the morning. I like to be there well before dark. We go up about once a month in the winter months if I can get into the driveway. We will check things over, Do some, a lot of reading. No Computer up there. So it is a good break from the turmoil. And I will fish with my brother. I caught a few gills yesterday down here, Just enough for Potato fish soup. Why, You may ask would a sane person sit out in the cold for hours with a pole in your hand and trying to catch a fish. I ask myself the same question. I will attempt to answer that question. On the surface it is good exercise, Good fresh air and at times vitamin D sun. It helps with the winter blues, at least for me. Getting out and doing something is important. another on the surface factor is I Like to eat Fish. A Good clean healthy food. But under the surface there is more to fishing, at least for me. It is a down time, a get away from the everyday situations. When I fish every thought that does not focus on the fish is gone. There is a peace with a fish focus. It is emptying your mind of all the clutter so you can reabsorb when you come back to your day job. It is an excitement of the possibilities, A bigger fish, A new lake to try, A new bait to test out, It is hope and optimism. Fishing is a rejuvenation of life. I always say the hardest cast to take is the last one. I often wonder will I know when take that very last cast. A fisherman truly does not want to know. Have blessed Week |
