I have decided to start posting on my blog again, after a six-month hiatus. What prompted this fit of ego-journaling? The political season, in part. The cacophony of negative ads is starting to hurt my tender ears and it's impossible to avoid them. The turning of the season, in part. The leaves are becoming red and yellow, and the temperature is brisk in the mornings. The looming start of my Social Security benefit, in part. I am officially old. Note to Tea Party candidates: Keep your grubby government paws off my Social Security! And Medicare, too, while we're at it! And, also, the Twitter-ization of modern life. My thoughts don't stop at 140 characters. So blog again I shall. Whether you like or not!
