Introduction

Hello Everybody ... always assuming there is someone out there reading this!

I'm not quite sure where this 'blog' is going to end up, but I feel it is time to start putting some thoughts on paper, even it is cyber-paper.

The freedom of a blog is appealing to someone like me, as I can grab a thought and put it into words before it flies away into the ether. This happens quite regularly now and I get very frustrated when it does.

It comes with age.

Age is the territory you don't want to inhabit.

It is an inevitable step in the course of life.

AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS.

Up until recently I have led a fairly well-ordered life and have known where I want to be in it and I have dreaded getting to the point where things start getting mislaid, keys, bus pass, loose change and the like.

I am beginning to suspect that I am now entering the realms of the forgetful.

Perhaps it is the onset of senility but when you become senile, how do you know?

To return to the point of starting this blog now is that today has not been a good day for remembering things!

It may be that I am more tired than usual ... or something.

This mental exercise may serve to re-order my balance a bit, so this could be the start of a journey of discovery as I progress into the latter chapters of my existance.

Please bear with me ... I may need a friend along the way.
