Lite Sentences

Dear Fellow Lifetimers

By Jim Hagarty

I have spent hours retrieving all the things I have written on Facebook over the past seven years. The conclusion I have come to is that I have been quite the blabbermouth since I retired. I published a book a few years ago called Poor Daddy. It contains just over 45,000 words. So year by year, I have been entering my Facebook stories into Word documents and tracking the word counts. As it turns out, I have written a book a year for the past half dozen years.

But one thing I noticed is that with Facebook, I could dash off one sentence and post it. Some little thought that seemed appropriate to share. I would like to share some of those one-liners and new ones as they occur to me but I don’t want to dedicate a whole blog post for one sentence.

So I have created another page called Lite Sentences. I will throw my one-liners in there from time to time. Some days there might be two or three additions, some days none. But it will serve the same purpose, I hope, as the junk drawer in our home. A catch all for anything and everything.

Happy Reading!

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.
