"[It was] mid-March. Outside my window the sun was shining. It wasn't spring yet but the snow was beginning to decay, and the sour smell of long-dried leaves bore the gentle promise of milder times."Robert B. Parker, Cold Service, publ. 2005
Q: Why do I blog?
A: I could babble to my friends about all the things
that interest me, but few would stay awake let alone be interested let alone share their own thoughts back.
A journal might work, but who'd give feedback then? On a blog, people might stop by whether on purpose or by accident and might feel amused
or interested or angry or whatever, and might even add their own thoughts. Plus, I must admit that
it's a way to leave my thoughts (a/k/a myself) for my children and grandchildren to know me better. Assuming they want to, ha ha, and assuming they read it, of course.
