BOCA INTERNATIONAL PUBLISHING COMPANY

Thursday, December 29th, 2011, 6 a.m.

Today I started a blog about my years in Kin. It began to take up so much room that I just copied everything and created a page on its own for the subject. That has been what I have been writing about for the past three hours between cups of tea and toast. I am now on to coffee. I keep getting surprises when I roam around my brother's house. This time it was finding a painting I did a few years back, given it to them for Christmas and then promptly forgotten about it entirely. I get the same surprise when I open my storage room up after a few years. We tend to forget things so easily as we get older and the older we get we forget more and more. I plan to go out when I cannot remember why I am here...that should do it! The reason for this blog and pages of the website is that so I can record something every day for the rest of my life so that my children and grandchildren have something to look back on and see that I was part of their lives, even though I was not there at the time. As I write this I have opened another website and I am listening to great music on AM740 radio on my earphones. Technology is a wonderful thing and as it is changing so quickly, it is great to know that radio seems to be hanging around. However, when you look at the faces of all the DJs you come to realize that there is not one young one in the whole group. What does that mean, a new generation? I just stopped to listen to the 6 a.m. news. Nothing much there of any interest unless you are into what is going on in North Korea or who now owns Woody Guthrie's collection of original recordings and records. He wrote the original song "This Land is Your Land."  Other than that, nothing else comes to mind that I would call news but I do enjoy the older music they play.

I have been pigging out this week in anticipation of my upcoming diet. I am not sure how it will work but I am going to do what I can to slowly change my bad habits, cut down a great deal on certain foods and move away from those things that go directly to fat around the belly and buttocks. I also plan to spend the winter doing some swimming stuff and water exercises. I am walking a lot better but I don't have the necessary stamna as of yet. Hopefully that will improve too.

Have a great day. Time for me to grab a nap.
