Pot Calls the Kettle Black

I read an interesting article today. The headline said, “Spare us, Internet experts”. The woman who wrote the article complained about all the chatter by commenters on the Internet about a current issue in the news. The writer of the piece criticizing the Internet commenters, of course, published her insightful criticism on a news blog. On the Internet. I think she just might be an expert.

I am a 72-year-old retired journalist, busy recovering from a lifelong career as an unretired journalist. This year marks a half century of my scratching out little fables about life. My interests include genealogy, humour and music. I live in a little blue shack in Canada and spend most of my time trying to stay out of trouble. I am not that good at it. I also spent years teaching journalism. Poor state of journalism today: My fault. I have a family I don't deserve, a dog that adores me, and two cars the junk yard refuses to accept. My prized possessions include my old guitar and a razor my Dad gave me when I was 14 and which I still use when I bother to shave. Oh, and my great-great-grandfather's blackthorn stick he brought from Ireland in the 1850s. I have only one opinion but it is a good one: People take too many showers.
