How time flies when you’re not paying attention.
I’m writing “offline,” and I can’t lay my hands on the wireless server, so changing to “online” means a to the second story to plug into the modem. Therefore, I haven’t checked my website, and memory does not serve, but my best guess, my wager, is that it has been two weeks since I blogged.
Two weeks on and two weeks off—how very Geminesque—but I hope whatever that rising sign of mine is is rising, and soon I’ll truly blog daily. (M – F of course)
Loving life, thanking all, focusing on taking care of self. 63-years old and finally figuring out how to do that, how depressing. Nope, not depressed. Sad? Well, partly, tho my sadness is mostly reserved for “what might have been” and him. Got it! Not having learned before now embarrasses me. Oh, heck I’ve been embarrassed before. I’ll get it this time.
I gain back much-needed weight; I join with friends daily; I enjoy this home and yard and its denizens.
Thanks for keeping in touch, all y’all. I think of you and thank you every day.

Life, the Universe, and Internet
Ends and Odds
I know a couple of you will catch the reference to Life, the Universe, and Everything, and I thank them for being in my life. I think of Douglas Adams, its author, and his magically comic way of seeing the world. (Freudian?--word) The world needs another Adams; if you know of one, please let me know.
“The unexamined life," Aristotle (?) said, "is not worth living.” The Transparent Self, a book vaguely recalled from my well-spent youth (it was the 60s) described the process. “To regularly lie requires a great memory,” said someone whose name I don’t recall.
“What would such a life look like,” I wondered. And so I have (pretty much) lived, and more than one friend has commented on the unsual nature of that fact. Whether or not it reaps rewards is TBR, tho I can safely say that I’m pretty much okay with my outcome so far. Yes, I live with some aspects I’d not have chosen, tho I’m sure that Michael S would say, “You do what you did, and you get what you got.” Whatever.
Enter the Internet stage right, (snagglepus exeunt stage left) and each of us thru blogging, social games & structures, sharing sites lives a Transparent Life.
Or is it?
