YOU'RE NOT A BLOGGER IF YOU DON'T BLOG!
So, as a Blogger, I'm falling further and further behind. It isn't that I don't have ideas or thoughts, but it is a matter of time. My place is chock-full of boxes of papers and it looks like a lifetime of filing and sorting will not make a dent in it. It is hell to realize that you've reach 80 years of age and you've accumulated more than you can possibly digest or use for research, that orderliness and a strict regimine would have done more for your peace of mind and output than anything else.

My papers are nothing compared to those of some people I know.

Believe me, it is a disease. It paralyzes you. It is the most horrible of all avoidable sicknesses. What if we had to flee our homes? What would we take with us? A lifetime's accumulation of magazines and newspapers and other junk? What would we choose? Just think of those people whose homes burn or are under water from floods, where it is all lose.

If it is not organized properly, it is useless to you. If things are not filed, they are useless and may as well be burned or under water. I hate to say it, but perhaps a fire or a flood frees many people from their most serious problem, collecting junk that is literally of little value to them or anyone else.

Dear Cuzzin'
I am grateful you have had the 80 years to accumulate the papers and enjoy the stories which are contained in them. Too much from my generation (Xers that is) is only on-line, and alas, will be lost when the web site is no longer kept up. I have saved many stories that you sent me as a little girl (I loved the worms of Solvang) and plan to keep them even if I only look at them once in a great while. Love, Your Little Cuzzin' Elaine

Independent thoughts. Politically incorrect? So what! Freedom of speech is just that, freedom of speech. Many Universities no long seem to subscribe to the Second Amendment. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS COMMUNIST PROPAGANDA WRIT SMALL. (Theodore Dalrymple).

About Me

Name:Howarde
Location:Solvang, California, United States

Born in Ohio in 1924, which leaves the arithmetic to you. Raised in New Jersey on the banks of the Hudson River, where I often watched all the activities on the river, such as maiden voyages of the English liner, S.S. Queen Mary and the French liner, S.S. Normandie, the large vessels docking on the N.Y. side of the river. Spent five years at sea as a Merchant Seaman, rank of Purser. Sort of like roaming the world during and after WWII.
