Why?

Why write this blog? After all, it isn't political or literary, as my others have been. Moreover, I don't plan, past a few friends, to advertise it.

Well, this is my personal diary of what it's like to live alone and be ageing in America. It is a reflective blog; whatever I feel like reflecting upon. Will it be of interest to anyone else? It doesn't matter. This is for me.

There are still things I have to say and I won't feel I've said them until they are written down. That's my generational bias towards print.

Perhaps they are banal things, but they matter to me. There are also topics I'd like to explore. Again I won't feel that accomplished except through writing.

Anything goes. Any idea or topic is fair game. All that matters is that I want to do it. If you enjoy it too, so much the better.
