Not-so-full Disclosure

Ok, here it is, partial disclosure:

I am writing this blog for FUN. I'm not trying to "build a brand" or "monetize" and if you enjoy reading my blog that's fine. More disclosure: I'm 79 years old, retired and just trying to keep up the best I can.

Frankly, I am astounded at what appears to me to be the frantic need, urge, desire, impulse of people to be in constant touch with someone else, whether for business, pleasure or just plain nosiness. I will not tweet. I was coaxed into creating a Facebook page but I rarely look at it. I email frequently and use the phone when necessary.

Yes, I have opinions but I seriously wonder if anyone really cares what I think. If you do, here's a new thought: Republicans must think most Americans are stupid; Democrats think most Americans are smart. Both are wrong. We ARE dumb enough in some cases to believe the revisionist history being peddled by GOP partisans; We may be SMART enough in some cases to understand what the Obama adminstration is trying to do, but it wouldn't hurt if they could spell it out in plain English.

That's enough for now. Going to Florida for a week to play golf. See you later.

Cheers.
