Winter Blogging - January 20 - 23...2009

Now that I have the 'tools' necessary to keep this stuff going...I must say that I have been suffering from robsherwood.com withdrawal for about 6 weeks. And I must also say that the intervention didn't work....I have fallen off the wagon...and as Dolly Parton remarked...Here We Go Again......

One of the many perks of spending a little time here is hearing from people I didn't expect to hear from...ever. Add to that list....My FIRST morning man at U100...Captain Billy. It was great to get an update on the last 33 years!!!...and also it was nice to get a chance to apologize for anything I wrote in the U100 Story that I shouldn't have written. The fact is...I have come to realize...in almost every situation I probably could have done a better job of handling things. Anyway....he said some nice things...my heart cockles were warmed...and he is part of MY story and I am part of his....and that's the way it goes.

Hope you all had a nice Christmas and New Year while I was ignoring things. I can't ignore any longer. Your two cents is always welcome.

Love that WSJ letter by Shapiro. How sad it is that his commentary is so true. And how impressive was that most gracious departure of President Bush! I honestly fear for where this country may now be headed.

So, there we were, back in October, when Uncle Rob indicated a new chapter of "My Story" was forthcoming, likely before Thanksgiving. Uh huh.
