Welcome to My Rambling Blog

Welcome! I realize most of the visitors to my blog are web robots who crawl around on the Internet looking for specific key words, and once they find them they send me anonymous spam emails trying to sell me things like penis enlargement drugs, anti-aging creams, brain enhancers, books on how to get rich quick, and helpful hints for decorating walls.  For example, my last post "Wall Space" has 17 hits. Sixteen are from web spider crawlers, but there is one real live person who is reading my ramblings.

If you have happened upon my blog today just by accident and haven't already clicked off of it, there is one thing you should know. The reason I'm here...the reason I've spent over five years blog rambling about everything my mind can possibly conjure up is because I'm trying to reach my children and their children.

If my blog makes no sense whatsoever to you, that's understandable. Most of the time it makes no sense to me either. That whole hindsight, prefrontal cortex thing really confused me. I'm gonna have to go back and reread that again.

My reason for this blog is simple. I just want to reach the kids, and since my calls go straight to voicemail, I thought a blog might get their attention. I want them to get to know me: who I am, where I came from, what I know, how I feel about things, why my sister Lynnette calls me _________(can't say the word on international Internet).  I want to give them my perspective on life, including lessons I've learned (or not) in seventy years. A little wisdom would be nice, and as soon as I find some of that, I'll pass that along as well.  I want to leave something behind for them so that after I'm gone they can't say, "Has anyone seen Nana? What? She's dead! Really? Well, did she leave anything behind for me?" 

Now, back to that one real person who is not a younger member of my family, but is coming uninvited to my rambling blog anyway.

Thank you.
