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. |
| I will now fill you in on yesterdays fish trip. I went close by about 50 minutes away, a smaller shallow like. It was full of people, being a Sunday. There was good ice and the snow was not a problem. It was cloudy and cold but not terrible. What was terrible was the fishing. I didn't get skunked but brought home only two small fish. The rest were mostly potato chips, meaning potato chip size. I will not return there this winter. But tomorrow is another trip to a different lake and hopefully better results. What was the worse is I hurt my eyes. Like a novice I ran off with out a hat with a brim. The brightness on the snow was hard for me too look at. Then straining to see the fish locator light did not help. Then when I left it was fog and freezing fog which made a glare which made driving difficult. So today I am wearing flip over light protection on my glasses. Lesson learned, I hope. But us old dogs do not always learn the fastest. But anyway On To, PROMPT January 3rd If you had a portal that would instantly transport you to one specific place on Earth whenever you wanted, where would you want to go? You can use the portal as often as you want, but it will only transport you to the one location you choose and then back again to where you came from. This is a easy prompt for me. Zurich Switzerland is the answer. I have some family there I can visit. And I will be able to rent a car and drive to Vienna Austria, Innsbruck, Salzburg, and Munich, I would also travel to and in the Prattigau Valley my heritage home where family yet remains. I have hopes of making one more trip there one day. If you are chasing to find happiness, You will never catch it, Happiness needs to be found in the NOW Moment. |
