Back in the Day

Sometime back in 2003 I had a blog, entitled, surprisingly enough, Reality Check. But the service that I was using completely shut down and I lost a year of my blog. So I began my blogging life on Blogger in October of 2004. Wow, almost six years ago.

Much has transpired since then. Some of my kids got married, some of my kids had kids, making me a grandfather, lost old friends, met new ones, found a new job, dropped that one and found another, sickness, fun times, graduations, anniversaries and birthdays and so much more.

Now I am heading into my 7th year of blogging, and as you can see from the lack of postings it is not what it used to be. But then again, neither am I. I am heading into my 50th year, and finding out the joys of aging, whether it is graceful or not, I am not sure but regardless it is happening. To all of us actually, not just me.

I say all of this to let you know that yes, I am going to continue to blog, as I enjoy it, and I enjoy looking back and seeing what I was doing a few years back. It is a journal of sorts to share with you, but also to share with myself. But I need to add some new life to my blog, as Facebook and Twitter have taken over. So as I enter my 50th year I also want to take a look back over the last 50 years and share some of the things I've seen, as I continue to tell about the things that are my current reality. So come and share 2010 with me as well as the years before as I saw them...
