I am not alone

January 31, 2009

I recently had a conversation with an old friend who called me after the sudden and unexpected passing of his father. I of course expressed my condolences and, having known his father personally, we exchanged stories about our past together with his dad.

Well I sat down a little while ago (over an hour actually) see if there were any comments to my blog postings — and there were! Very exciting! I then attached a few of my friends blogs to my Google reader but have difficulty getting one of them. One of them which did work is […]

Blogging – “KISS”

January 15, 2009

I started writing a post on another’s blog and started getting “Long Winded” – that is not uncommon for me – however, I type slow so it surprised me that my “Talkativeness” would so quickly find its ways to and through my Fingers. On more area for Growth I guess. In any case – I […]
