It has been some time since last I entered here. Mom, my dog, my retirement, grandchildren going to college, and my induction into the medical world with my own problems, all conspired to make my presence, here, too much of a struggle. It took too much time, too much energy, too much…whatever.

It was truly laziness, though. There were plenty of unfilled minutes in the last year and a half that should have been filled with attendance at this site.

And the reason for the laziness? Contentment.

There is no urge to come here and express my views when it’s so much better use of my time to sit and watch television. Or read a book. Or play tennis. Or workout. Or call my kids. Or call my grandkids. Or buy a new car. Or spend hours sitting with medical personnel intent on convincing me the need for drugs is real. (I could have used that argument in my profligate youth!)

But there is something about here, something about this exercise, something about putting into words the things puzzling about life…

So I am back. Hopefully on a regular basis. There is lots to write about in this Trumpian World, and I hope to be unhappy enough to be motivated.

I hope I am not too late.
