Lost Post and Misplaced Thoughts

I spent about 30 minutes writing a post this evening, right after my mindless little post about micro/macro legal perspectives. As I was submitting it, blogger.com locked up. Oh well, 30 minutes of lost time. The only issue of particular note was my comment about going to Dubrovnik, Croatia in May...I hope my wife will come along.

During the last little while, I have watched television news and it has driven me to a bit of distraction...I should stop watching. I've said it before and I will say it again...Nancy Grace on CNN is not a journalist...she should be boiled in her own juices. Anderson Cooper has his strong points, but he has plenty of weak ones. I have even more weak ones!

I want to try to remember to write comments later concerning random ideas, thoughts, opinions, and observations about:

• Kinky Friedman running for Texas' governor
  
• Creating products and services for the home-school market
  
• Pooling family's/friends' money to create a real compound
  
• Living on the Mexican Pacific coast
  
• Joining the Peace Corps...are Geezers too old to join?
  
• My abhorrance of all things religious, at least when those things are fanatical
  
• My offense at receiving a business email with a link to a nutcase Christian website
  
• How it might feel to have a completely new body, but the same brain/thought processes/memory
  
• Whether good fences really DO make good neighbors?
  
• Why certain types of emotions bring tears, while others bring smiles and laughter
  
• Why I have never needed, nor wanted, friends outside my marriage and family and whether that's really how I feel
  
• Why I have never, to date, published a book
  
• What it is about HGTV programs that appeals to me
  
• Whether it is worthwhile to have my turntable repaired
  
• Whether it is possible to have my LPs converted to CDs or MP3 files
  
• My admiration of Emily Dickinson, Mark Twain, and Jimmy Carter
  
• Why my wife's breast cancer made me realize how exceptionally important she is to me
  
• Why I think my own health probably will prevent me from ever being an old man
  
• What it is about dark cherry and teak woods that I find appealing
  
• How it has come to pass that my intense dislike for certain Japanese styles evolved into an intense respect for certain other Japanese styles
  
• Why I regard people who mispronounce 'nuclear' and 'realtor' as insufficiently intelligent
  

All of this should give me plenty of subjects for future blogs.
