Day 4725: My blog attempt & Lightning splits tree.

4725 consecutive days, 12+ consecutive years?

It started when I retired from teaching and had the time. I had told a friend that I planned to post everyday. His eyes rolled a bit and he said, "that's a big commitment." He didn't mean it as a challenge, but I did. So I show up daily, with something? Some days like yesterday, it is necessarily short, other days, perhaps too long. When family started popping up in my blog, I worried that it might be too much, but it turned out to be what most readers liked best? 

 

The cover art and music are a constant. And, since the pandemic, I have added videos, just because, 2GN2S and more smiles as it seemed a diversion was in order? Lately I have been adding "Do You Know?'s if I don't have an update, so much going on!


 I thank you who have visited when you can. It is my hope that this silly, random blog gives you a pleasant break from life? I have been asked how long I will continue? I guess until I can't? And I think I have awhile. Meanwhile, it keeps me off the street and from rolling sailors. So a community service in its way.

Thank you for your blog. I read it every day. I don't know if I have been here for 12 years but it has been a long time.

I’m sorry your blog limits your rolling sailors activity. Perhaps it would be better if you found a less physical pursuit?
