My story is the old sad one you all have heard---first just skipping through the chat rooms and dropping wise ass remarks, swilling beers and and just enjoying the hell with my own repartee--------but then after a time that wasn't enough, I signed up with My Space and other social sites, but quickly found them waaay to full of ignorant wise ass children-----I quit the chat rooms, I spent hours playing solitaire, and free cell and games like that.
Then I discovered SIM City 4---oooh yeah hours and hours building my cities, controlling the power, the water, even the weather-----but after some many months this too begin to bore me, becoming repetitive, no surprises, boring-----then quite by chance, my Niece (by Marriage) Judi, caught me on line one day----I believe it was as tuesday , excited about something SHE was into---blogging, and she sent me the link----well immediately I spark ignited somewhere deep in my mind---yeah pretty sure it was my mind-----anyway I quickly leaned how I too could start a blog-----this would be the real me, no more hiding behind false names and pretending to be who I wasn't--------had to pick a name for my blog---something that describe me and well ThreeScorePlusTen came readily to mind---in that I was just about to celebrate the conclusion of just that number of years and start my 71st---so I signed up with blogger and made my first post
and actually got two comments----not much but it kicked that spark in the back of mind, ooooh yeahhhhh, blogging was what I had been searching for-----So that was then---and so here we are again, and by co-incidence, once again its a tuesday--------I like to think I am making progress, getting better at this, slowly but surely-----by the way---for what its worth----this post just happens to be my 200th-----I think its time for a cold beer------.
