Three Score and Ten the Introduction, Well here we go, After 50 years I am going to take another attempt at writing. The first time was the Palmer writers correspondence school in 1969. The writing will be not a book that will be written with the idea of being published, But will be a writing of thoughts unencumbered by possible publishing and monetary gain. This writing will be a hybrid of Journal and Reminisce. It is important to me that the writings are my true thoughts at the time, not influenced by any factor. The writing will try to explain how a 70 year old white, male USA citizen now relates to today's world. Is every oldest generation lost in their own world, that they aged into? What do I see, and feel as I age farther. I know I am not normal as in what this world today would consider normal. But I hope I am in the ball park writing the thoughts of a 70 year old. I hope for you to learn to know who I am, As I search for Who I am at 70+ This work will carry on until I am no longer able to think or write. This will be done on a nearly daily writing interwoven with a life's reminiscing. This writing has been in the planning for 10 plus years. and I have now made it to this starting point. This writing is dedicated to My Wife The Kitten, My family, My grand children, Lukas, Levi, Luis, Lydia and Sonora Pearl. I thank you God that you have allowed me to have your Three Score and Ten Time. |
| Hello Grands and All Others Three Score and Now Twelve + Day 217 3-22-23 I have now made it through 73 winters here in Wisconsin. The winters in Wisconsin can be harsh and long especially in the north woods, but the winter does pass every year. Then what is left of the year is more to my liking. In my opinion there is not a better place to live in the USA then Wisconsin for many reasons, Not all weather related. So now that we are officially in Spring I again have dreams and aspirations for the coming outdoor season. I will prune the garden back some this year. I will put the Internet Sales site mostly on hold. Then I will concentrate on catching fish. Since I have not ice fished this year we are getting low on fish to eat. I go along with buying some salmon at the grocery. The wife will be make salmon for dinner today. But I really like our own caught fish, and our grown herbs, vegetables and potatoes. There is a lot of satisfaction in providing for your own main meal. It is a satisfaction that I am sure not many come to know in today's world. The "Last Cast", My grandfather and father were all fishermen and I have always wondered about their last cast. I always say the hardest cast to make is the last one. Did they realize it was there last cast? Did they savor it and drag it out, Did it catch a fish, were they happy and contented? Were they satisfied their life's work and results. I pray that the "Last Cast" was all positive for them. I am sure they did not know it was the "Last Cast" And that I suspect that makes it easier. As for me this fishing season I will always be thing at the end of a fishing trip, Is this the Last Cast. As I age the Last Cast is getting closer. The "Last Cast" will be the hardest to make. I am planning more fishing season ahead, but it is not in my hands. But I will delay the Last Cast as long as I can. But I hope I am aware of it being the Last Cast and I am at peace with that. Grandsons I pray for you many many future casts. But you to will one day run up against your Last Cast. Tight Lines Guys, Love Grandpa |
