"Another week older...

... and deeper in debt", as the song goes - and it's probably true though that is not what has overly concerned me this week. On the international stage more children than terrorists are dead in the Middle East while we are told a ceasefire will do no good until it comes with a lasting peace - which certainly isn't going to come along fast if there are steady deliveries of warheads arriving via Prestwick Airport.

Meanwhile in the 53rd state all semblance of a caring society vanished again as individual needs met the nanny state where commonsense is deemed subversive, and led to yet another elderly couple being torn apart until the press stepped in - do not adjust your set, reality IS at fault, as the saying goes.

Save me Lord from connecting these two stories with the thought of what I might do to the nanny state if I could just get my hands on those arms - so to speak.

The meaning of life - well, of blogging

Creative expression and documenting life for a small audience according to this. Rather like talking to oneself in the bad old pre- Internet days perhaps? Though that was said to be a sign of madness too..........hmph!
My kinda guy...

Wearing frocks may be considered another kind of stereotyping of its own kind but at least Rob Moodie is trying to make a difference and raise some questions and awareness.

Now, how are we going to make progress on the problem of age??? I like being invisible most of the time and am not fearful of opening my mouth if I think my view will not be offered up in the course of a debate. BUT, getting any action from other younger participants once they see that the voice comes from a person who refuses to dye their hair is quite another matter!

Too long a silence...

but too much going on, too much to blog about and not enough time - gonna
take a while to catch up...

To start, seems like I am one of a very big crowd wanting to flee
to small faraway places surrounded by water. My personal favourite for when
the lottery is won is the rainbow version

Well, as they say, if you don't have a dream how are you (ever) going to have a dream come true?
