Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.
Ah, content. Content makes one content. But it's all about nostalgia, really. And I have enough of that - it was my hetday, after all. I had an idea of writing a book about it once but I lost my round tuit. To be honest, I'm in two minds about those days. We had some good ideas but we allowed the whole thing to be hijacked by commercial and political interests. the result you see all around you today.
Oh man! I was hooked by the entry title. A throwback entry of sorts was my suspicion as I waited the nano second it took to follow your newsfeed link here. I mean, I will take the 9 words plus two punctuations, don't get me wrong. I just would have liked more content.
I was thinking today about that Progressive Insurance advert on the television. You know the one (if you’re American). It’s where the psychiatrist fellow trails around a bunch of middle aged people, trying to teach them how to avoid becoming like their parents.
It was a bit of a shock to realise that it’s too late for me.
