am i wise?

it seemed like a good idea to write a blog. lots of people do it and seem to enjoy it so why shouldn't I? my sons are very good at it - well they make me laugh. trouble is, at this moment, I don't have anything remotely interesting to say - so why bother? part of me says if i don't start now i never will. the other says i have to write a sentence that doesn't end with a question mark. another part (i have lots of parts - some work, some don't) seems to think i am incapable of being disciplined enough to keep this up. well i'd like to see if i can so if there are rotund walkers, decrepit gardeners, goofy golfers, pathetic painters or generally inebriated gentle-folk out there i hope i will write something moderately interesting for you. or if any younger folk wish to join in you are very welcome. as tom paxton said to me once (and to a few hundred others in the audience) "i still feel as young as i ever did but i seem to knock around with an older crowd". is that the way the world goes around?

welcome to the world of bogs. And i mean bogs.

are these nice bogs with heather and pleasant smelly stuff or the other sort - in which case i guess i'll find out soon enough? by the way, did you notice that two of the books you gave me made it into my favs and midnight in the garden of evel knievel just missed out in a photo finish?
