I am an over user of Pronoun I and have judged myself into silence. I am a faithful over thinker, over organizer and I am over 50. What am I waiting for?

To have a blog is to write on a regular basis. To have a blog is to focus on one’s niche and stay there, attracting readers. Ideally one is a smooth, cool blogger, espousing current thought and culture, rather than one’s own inner dialogue. Teaching the world also embraces the notion of ‘good blogging.’

The use of ‘Pronoun I’ in more than one blogging paragraph (Generally this is a neat and tidy summary or opinion, barely audible to the reader’s ear) is considered narcissistically limited.

Hello. I have missed you. So many events are back there it feels too difficult to organize them into a neat summary right now. I am relearning some important things that I lost like reading and writing. It is going well, well enough that I intend to practice more here.

How to get a cup of coffee when you lost your brakes so you have no car and your coffee machine broke.

Prepare the cash you need to purchase cup of coffee and place it, folded in your pants pocket. Also prepare your route so you are free to balance your coffee cup after mounting said bicycle.

Search the sky for any ominous cloud formations and don appropriate Gortex if needed.

Following your purchase, take several large gulps of coffee to decrease the liquid volume by 30%. DO NOT place cup in water holder or balance on seat of two-wheeler.
