update: 11:47 AM 7/15/2016
I started this blog in January 2008. Kept it current, more or less, until August 2010. Don’t remember why I stopped contributing. In the meantime Facebook, Twitter and the myriod of other social media websites have come about. None of which I am comfortable with considering my life long interest in living a private life. Have been pondering whether to expand my very limited Facebook knowledge as a way to reconnect to the “social” media aspect of life, or to update and use this blog. As of 11:49 AM 7/15/2016 I have decided to have another go at blog entries as a place to present my ideas rather than any of the social media networks. I really don’t care if you know that I have a cold or not. Or that I just ate an apple. What????? I think that you get the message!
Hello again! Hopefully this will all work out. dpn
