Gone Fishin’

Hi Everyone:
My family and I are on vacation in a camp deep in the woods where, coincidentally, bears also camp. We have no WIFI and the bears won’t let us use theirs. Everything you’ve heard about bears being nasty is true. In any case, I am afraid I cannot update my blog until Tuesday. In the unlikely event that we make it out of here alive, I will post new stuff then. Thanks for following me.

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.
