a life before the internet 

A Letter To The Editor – 

A typewriter. My first one. Somehow he got my number and called me about my letter to the editor on protecting our children from smoking. Not from getting drugs or getting pregnant. Or predators. A major newspaper published it.  

Daily writing prompt
Do you remember life before the internet?

a personal belonging

A Holding Most Dear – 

A computer. A link to the world. I love links. Especially hot links. Connecting the dots with links. A dialogue with like minded individuals. Questions and answers. Let’s talk. 

Daily writing prompt
What personal belongings do you hold most dear?

a collection of books

A Reason To Doubt – 

A healthy distrust of our leaders. Watergate. Question everything and everyone. The search for Truth starts with doubt. Seek and you shall find, ask and you shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you. Don’t forget to knock. 

a legacy to leave behind

A Something To Be Remembered For – 

A project started. A new interpretation of the Apocalypse based on numbers and colors. What I leave is not a book but a number of posts on WordPress that may lead others around the world to a new understanding of the last book in the bible. 

a feeling about cold weather?

A Thought Might Be Better – 

A senior citizen prefers hot. Even though you can always put an extra layer on when it is cold, hot is better but I do miss the snow which is quiet. Our heat pump must work harder when it is cold. 

a broken bone

A Rain Problem – 

A right leg damaged jumping when it was wet. Twice. The first time only required stitches. The second a cast. Broken ankle. A plate and six screws fix. Workers Comp covered it and gave me $4500 if and when I wanted them removed. They now recommend leaving them in which I did. Kept the money. No more jumping even if it is not wet. 

a balance of work at home?

A Retired Person – 

A long day. WordPress posting, a bike ride, and small projects in the morning. Neighborhood watching in a rocking chair with a beer on the patio if it is not too hot, cold, or wet. Napping when I can. The day is too long.
