THE INTERNET NEVER FORGETS (But It Could Die)

"The internet never forgets."

 

But, it could die.

 

 

Just in case, herein below (stupid lawyers) is what I could scrape from the interwebs, the remains of my written, posted work from blog posts over the last, oh, say, 14 years.  I will always contend that much deep thought went into these rants, some were even fully captured. These thoughts, framed by bits of time, have been fueled by one American citizen's concern -- for both ourselves and our posterity.

 

With my mother-in-law's funeral service coming next week, what I can honestly say is that I have done and what I have done here to express, despite the degrees of separation the internet creates, what I know to be true, good, and consistent. 

 

In the words of Nathaniel Benchley, "Only Earth and Sky Last Forever."

 

I'm not trying to top "mean Tweets," because it is the Divine Comedy that keeps me laughing.

And with all our years of accumulated experience, and purported wisdom, boomers like us may need to re-consider that in the eyes of our children, we are simply fools, who care too much to simply quit. 

 

Consider this body of work --- 

 

and remember --- 

 

whether at age 65, or any age, we are always a work in progress.
