Musings of an Old Man

Whatever this used to be about, it is now about my dying. I'll keep it up as long as I can and as much as I want to.

Name:
Location: Columbus, Ohio, United States

I'm a 69 years old white, male, 6'1", 290 lbs., partially balding in the back. I was married for ten years and fathered two children, a daughter and a son. My current marriage (2nd) will celebrate its 39th anniversary November 4. The date will be in the news because it was the same day as the Iranian hostages were taken at the US Embassy in Tehran. (Obviously, I had a better day than they did.) I'm a Vietnam Veteran ('71-'72). I have worked as a Computer Programmer, Project Manager, Graduate Teaching Associate, Technical Writer, and Web Developer. I own, with my wife, a house and a dog.

Comments and The Blahs

I wondered why my blog wasn't getting any comments at all. Yesterday I found out one reason (I mean it could be so boring nobody is looking, right?). I had to set a flag to allow general comments. Who knew? I thought I had set everything up properly, but apparently I had not.

I'ts not that I expect a lot of comments, but everybody gets one or two now and then. Now, if I don't get any comments, it probably means that nothing is resonating with anyone.
------------------------------------------------------
I've been in a real funk lately. I can't say exactly why. Yes, my Dad is dying, but he's hanging in there and seems not yet ready to go and the chemo seems to be helping him. And, yes, it's the holidays, but I usually like the holidays.

No, I can't really say why I'm in such a funk. I don't want to go out. I don't want to see anybody. I don't want to read or write anything. I can stare at the television for hours, and I can play Neverwinter Nights. I'm currently juggling different characters to see how different types work. That's about all I get enthusiastic about lately.

I don't even get enthusiastic about this blog, but I've promised myself I'll write in it, and I might as well say what there is to say, even if it's not much.
