My mother’s generation often wrote long letters to close life long friends that illustrated wisdom gain though life, and a degree of self honesty rarely encountered. Your post reflect
and continue this tradition.
If it helps, at 62 years of age I have read and viewed the video your posts on ballet, a subject dear to you and of no interest to me.

At 15 a female classmate commented to a group of males “you are pigs, and live in the gutter”. To which I responded, “but we like living in the gutter” in a hurt tone. Ballet at 62 who knew?

I have a suggestion. At least once a week re-post one or two of your previous posts and start at the beginning. Do this on Fridays and unless something just can not be ignored and you are compelled to post your thoughts, take the weekend off.

I have read perhaps 10 or so posts from before I began reading your blog regularly. Please don’t get close to feeling burned out…. we all enjoy reading your thoughts and findings; and the lighter things you bring to our attention.

I prescribe a SweeTango or three and have a glass of a crisp dry white wine. Currently my sweetheart and I are enjoying Vinho Verde, a 9.5 % alcohol Iberian white. Plus it is nice marinade for fish such as tilapia.

A book on changers could have lasting value, so If you had to reduce your blogging to make time for the book, then I could accept a lower daily dose on the news.

For whatever it’s worth, just one opinion.
