Several years now since the passing of Mrs. T and later the social isolation caused by several phases of the pandemic I am expecting to return to a semblance of some aspects of my former life. This will be my renewed focus on the Internet through the means of blogging. My initial sense that Facebook and its immediate success and were not for me. That kept me blog loyal to blogging. More recent concerns about Facebook and its other platforms have shone it to be a cesspool of lies. divisiveness, conspiracy theories and even danger to our democratic form of government.
With time I intend to continue Troutbirder’s book reviews, nature travel stories and adventures plus photography . Also my new girlfriend I. E. Retired professor of English language Jean Marie is considering educating me on the appropriate use of commas and the general upscaling of my atrocious grammatical skills.
Wait...what?! How did I miss the "girlfriend" thing??! Okay...did you blog about this? If not, you need to catch us (or is it just me?) up!
ReplyDeleteI really don't like FB. I have unfriended anyone who is political (either side) because it is just divisive these days. I hope bloggers make a comeback!
yes I did put a brief story in about the surprising developmen in a few post back. She is a North Dakota farm girl from Jamestown . She live retired in a Minneapolis suburb near he daughter. We have common including a love of books and having lost a spouse due to Alzheimer's. So far so good. but I'm fifty plus year out of practice on the dating thing so cautious...:)
DeleteHappy for you, Ray! Nice to have some company. :)
DeleteFacebook is evil. I agree. Although I miss a lot of grand kids' pictures and news from friends and family, I wouldn't ever go back on Facebook. Nobody reads my Blog but I continue to operate under the illusion that I am a great writer and photographer. I write in my Diary (Blog) with the thought that something will live after me for my children and grand children to know something about life in ancient times.
ReplyDeleteWELL i WILL BE MAKING THE EFFORT TO RECONNEC WITH MY LONTIME BLOGING FRIENDS LIKE THE STRONG DEMOCRAT UNION SUPPORTER IN NEW MEXICO. RAY
